About Santa Bárbara
Santa Bárbara is a rural parish on Santa Maria island, famous for São Lourenço Bay — a horseshoe-shaped natural amphitheatre ringed by terraced vineyards, considered one of the most beautiful beaches in the Azores. The parish preserves the whitewashed houses with tall chimneys typical of the "sun island", a unique architectural style in the archipelago. Santa Maria has the warmest climate in the Azores and the oldest geological formations, with sedimentary rocks and marine fossils.
