Welcome to the Azores, the Gem of the Atlantic. Get to know your fellow travelers at our Welcome Event, followed by a walking tour of Ponta Delgada, the capital of the Azores, as we stroll through cobbled streets lined with unique black-and-white mosaic sidewalks and volcanic black and white stone buildings, setting the Azores apart from other architecture. Wander past historic churches and charming cafés. Visit the iconic Portas da Cidade gates, stroll through Gonçalo Velho Square, admire the elegant São Sebastião Church, and meander through the local market. Enjoy a special visit to the Sahar Hassamain Synagogue, built in 1836, and the more modern Hebrew Museum, all in the restored synagogue and the only remaining synagogue in the Azores. Tonight, we’ll enjoy a Welcome Dinner at a local restaurant. (D)
