Vila Franca do Campo

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE : Check out this beautiful drone videos from the Azores Islands, compliments of ElGomez. The video was shot in and around Vila Franca do Campo, a town on the southern side of São Miguel. It's one of about a half-dozen small-medium sized settlements along the southern coast of the main island in the archipelago. Founded in the 16th century, the town lies a bit to the east of Ponta Delgada, the regional capital. The colorful town and its idyllic marina make for a great visual contrast with the green hills in the background.
