Açores - São Miguel (16004)
Povoação - a municipality located in the southern part of São Miguel Island. The first settlers came here in 1427. This picture is showing the result of the flood that has destroyed a lot of infrastructure in 1997. The newly designed waterfront is not very beautiful, but will hopefully prevent the inhabitants from another disaster like that eleven years ago. You cannot see the larger part of the city that leads up into the seven mountains which are called "lombas".
