Ribeira Grande's council runs a Christmas market on Largo Hintze Ribeiro from 11 November to 20 December, organised through InWave, the town's business incubator. The stalls belong to small local businesses selling their own products and services, so this is a place to find something made on São Miguel rather than imported souvenirs. Entry is free. With the market open for six weeks, it fits easily into a day on the north coast.
Practical information
Largo Hintze Ribeiro is in the centre of Ribeira Grande on São Miguel's north coast. The listing gives no transport details; Ribeira Grande is a short drive from Ponta Delgada.
It is held on a town square and the listing does not say whether the stalls are covered, so bring a rain layer on a wet day.
