Short description of São João dos Angolares
This is the town of the Angolares, who descend from Africans shipwrecked or escaped on this coast and who kept a creole of their own. The old estate above the sea is on the world heritage list and was turned by a television cook into a guesthouse, gallery and the most talked about table in the country, a long tasting menu of whatever the island produced that week. The road south of here gives the classic view of Pico Cão Grande, the volcanic plug that rises straight out of the forest. The jungle walk to its base takes most of a day.
