With a very picturesque town, explore Santa Cruz to the fullest and enjoy its whitewashed houses and the 16th century Santa Cruz Church.
One of the attractions not to be missed is Furna do Enxofre, a cave beneath a caldera that can be visited, which was first explored by Prince Albert of Monaco in 1879 on his visit to the Azores.
