The ceiling and the paintings are worth seeing.
Continuing along the North Coast, we arrive at São Jorge. This small and charming village was one of the first parishes on the North Coast of the Island to be populated.

On clear days it is even possible to see the Island of Porto Santo

The most iconic rock formation you can see here is the Penha d'Águia, which rises from the ground 590 meters high. In Porto da Cruz you can visit the Northern Milling Company, which is the only steam distillery in Europe
