What to expect
The Pineapple Plantations in Ponta Delgada, Azores, are a unique attraction where visitors can learn about the history and production of pineapples in the region. The plantations, such as the Augusto Arruda Pineapple Plantation, offer free visits and tours, showcasing the different phases of pineapple cultivation. Visitors can also explore the traditional greenhouses, taste local products, and purchase souvenirs. The pineapples grown in these plantations are known for their sweet and slightly acidic flavor, and are often used to produce liqueurs, jams, and juices. Some plantations also offer a 'pineapple bath' experience, where visitors can soak in warm water surrounded by the tropical plants
