Hello...we'll be in Ponta Delgada next year on Nov. 1. Not only is it a Sunday, it's also All Saint's Day.
Will anything be open...shops, markets, coffee shops, etc ?
Thank you!
November 1st is a Saturday but yes it is a public holiday (all Saints) so some places will be closed. It's difficult to be specific but bars etc do not close.
Sorry misread the question. Next year 2009 it is a Sunday so to all intents and purposes it is a normal Sunday as well as a holiday. Some bars etc close on Sundays as matter of course and so do some shops.
Thank you for taking the time to respond. It's always hard to know what is open and what is not in various places around the world, on a Sunday! We are only there for one day and want to make the most of it.
Have a good day!
Ponta Delgada has some really nice pavements that are quite typical for Portugal.
They did originally originate in Mesopotamia and were brought to Portugal by the moors, but these days it´s considerd an old portugese tradition to use basalt and limestone to pave the sidewalks in this nice manner.
These pavements are not the cheapest or the most practical, but they are sure pretty and let´s hope for the future that they keep this tradition.
The Convent and Chapel of Our Lady of Hope, known as "Convento da Esperança" or simply Saint Christ's Church "Igreja do Senhor Santo Cristo", is home to the magnificent statue of "Senhor Santo Cristo dos Milagres" Christ of Miracles, the patron of the largest religious festival in the Azores.
The construction of this monument goes back to the XVI century.
The statue of Senhor Santo Cristo dos Milagres is only a part of the valious tresour kept inside this monument.
Visits to the statue:
From September to June
Everyday

Largo da Matriz is the social heart of the city where locals and visitors come together. The streets that radiate from the square are all commercial streets and offer a variety of shops, bars, restaurants, as well some significant buildings. The most charming is Rua dos Mercadores, the ancient shopping street, narrow, with mosaic pavements.
Located on Av. Roberto Ivens, Coliseu is the biggest house on the island that promotes theatre, dance and music. When I passed by it was closed. But luckily, there was an employee at the door and he kindly offered to show me the interior. A short walk from here is Palácio da Conceição, the seat of various government offices. Another cultural institution is Teatro Micealense, modelled on the Coliseum in Lisbon which has been recently restored. Strolling the streets of historic centre I also noticed several old houses which I found especially attractive.
