By having a great coast for fish species, secluded harbor and useful water mills, almost all the farmers from the NorthEast coast used it as a meeting point for exchanging goods and processing crops by using the mills. Therefrom, the name given to the village: “Moinhos” (translated as “mills”). The Tea plantations – the only 2 in Europe - were a great booster for the predominance of country life as well, back in 1750.brbrAlong the years some families settled there until today, where they still keep the identity of the parish.brNowadays, this small village of Porto Formoso – Moinhos - is inhabited by natives or people from nearby cities that have chosen to move to a place of privacy and quietness in the nature, centered in the island while out of the city rush but, at the same time, in a short driving distance to everything else.brbrNow, for some remarkable historical data (after the beginning of the Tea), such as in the year of 1831 when the Portuguese civil war was taking place.brThe absolutist regime led by Dom Miguel fought his own brother Dom Pedro the IV who was leading the liberals. This specific battle was the last in the Azores, of crucial importance for the fall of the mornaquic regime all over Portugal, and a legend was born:brIt is said that an old lady spotted a ship with an army inside docking in the bay (which is the beach today). So, being a supporter for the liberals, she took advantage of her higher position and great inclination of the roads by moving severall stones down the street. As a result, the army turned unwilling to climb all the way up fearing that after that large amount of stones there would probably be a huge liberal army ready to defeat them. All the previous predictions, added to the weariness that the rise would cause, were more than strategically enough to set the retreat decision in that precise moment.brToday, the street name is “Ladeira da Velha” (“Old lady's slope”).brAnd it's your street!brbrGetting aroundbrBesides the nearby points of interest (by foot) mentioned in the listing's header you can also drive to other close places always in the same village streets such as:br:: 5 mins to Viewpoint “Miradouro de Santa Iria”, just up the street (a delightfull viewpoint of the shore and one of the most impressive of the island.br:: 10 mins to other Restaurants (2 of the most known for their fresh fish and seafood such as “Cantinho do Cais”)br:: 5 mins to the harbor (nice fresh “grouper” to grill at home or try a local experience with the company “HáMar” to spend a morning fishing in the sea with them)br:: 7 mins to the 2 unique Tea plantations in all Europe (great to start the day at “Gorreana” factory tasting diferent types of harvests among some local delicacies and a walk between the tea fields)br:: 12 mins to the tobacco and spices museum at the “Maia” parishbr:: 12 mins to a nice family business Pizzeria “O Forno” - also in “Maia” parishbr:: 15 mins to “Calhau d' Areia” a place for the lovers of fishing by the sea shorebrbrRegarding all the other “Must see” points of the island:br:: 20 mins to “Lagoa do Fogo” view (lagoon, crater, “Caldeia Velha” hot springs, geothermal central)br:: 20 mins to “Lagoa” city (natural sea pools, parish of “Caloura” hills with harbor, beach & seafood restaurant by the sea)br:: 20 mins to “Furnas” (lagoon, fumaroles, hot springs and botanical gardens)br:: 28 mins to “Água D'Alto” (2 southern beaches and views over caloura)br:: 35 mins to “Vila Franca” (chapel “Nossa Senhora da Paz”, aka “Our Lady of Peace” with a great view over the city and the islet, and the marina where you get the boat to visit the islet during summer season)br:: 35 mins to “Nordeste” council (NorthEast)br:: 55 mins to “Sete Cidades” lagoon (SouthWest)br:: Either of those last 2 with some more after to get to the “edges” of the islandbr:: Ponta Delgada city center is at a 25 minutes driving range, such as the airport.br
