Ribeirão da Ilha, Florianópolis, State of Santa Catarina, Brazil
Small beaches with calm waters and coarse sand. On the edge of the centrinho of the old parish and around the church square, the architecture of the XVIII and XIX centuries is preserved. With the development, came the expansion of the gastronomic and tourist sector. The Ribeirão da Ilha is the second colony to be developed in the old town of Desterro, now Florianópolis.
The habits and traits of the culture, inherited from the Azoreans, remain alive in the older inhabitants, despite urban growth. It is because of this preservation that Florianópolis is considered the tenth island of the archipelago of the Azores and the region of Ribeirão da Ilha is a great object of study about the people who inhabited the islands of the archipelago of the Azores.
Currently, because of the cultivation of mollusks in the waters of Ribeirão da Ilha, the gastronomic sector has developed and has become another attraction of the region. Family-run restaurants serve good quality seafood. They are fresh and the dishes full, making the Ribeirão a national reference in this type of gastronomy.
Take a stroll along the waterfront, meet artisan shops and bobbin lace. Strolling in the evening is also charming for the beauty, tranquility and friendliness of the people.
