Ribeira Grande, Sao Miquel

One of the Yellow Bus stops is the town of Ribeira Grande.  The town is named for the river that runs through it.  Ribeira Grande is known for its rich architecture - with buildings dating back to the 16th century.

 The architecture is impressive.  And in the middle of town where the river runs they put in a nice park with flower gardens. 

We did not hang out there for a very long - but it was nice to stop and see the town.

After our short stop in Ribeira Grande we hopped back on the bus to see the rest of the stops on this side of the Island.
