Vila Franca do Campo

One of my favorite things we did while on vacation was go to a small island called Ilheu de Vila Franca. The island has a crater in the middle that connects in a narrow passage to the ocean. We took a fishing boat out to the island and enjoyed a swim and a little sun bathing on the rocks.

After our swim, we drove to a hill above Vila Franca do Campo to see an old church that was built, according to our guidebook, in the second half of the 15th century. While there, we had another great view of the island.
