One of the most beautiful wonders of the Azores, called paradise by many, Fajã da Caldeira de Santo Cristo is a very unique place. Surrounded by high steep mountains on one side and the ocean on the other, Caldeira de Santo Cristo remains unspoiled with stone houses that resemble the antique azorean lifestyle close to nature. 

 

Caldeira de Santo Cristo features a huge lagoon that is a joy to swim in during summer. This lagoon is special because it is the only place in the Azores where clams grow. Caldeira's clams are one of the most special delicacies of this island and you can taste them in the restaurant "O Borges" at Caldeira de Santo Cristo.

 

Besides being a very relaxing place of unparallel beauty, Caldeira de Santo Cristo is considered kind of a surf Mecca in the Azores because of it's long and perfect world class waves. This place is attended by surfers from all over the world. Check out the video presented below.
