Cool, calm respite in the city
Jardim Botânico António Borges的点评
点评:We enjoyed an hour or so in this garden on our final day of our visit to Ponta Delgada, stopping by between our hotel checkout and returning our rental car for our onward flight. Parking nearby seems to be hit or miss. Entry to the garden is free. There were multiple pathways at various levels around the garden, which offers wonderful shade, calming water features, and some simple stone grottoes. Some of the trees are spectacular in both size and lush green beauty, and the variety of blooming plants during late June was amazing: so much color! Adding to the ambiance were any number of chickens and ducks, along with a couple of cats snoozing in shady corners of the park. In the early afternoon, the number of visitors was absolutely manageable. Next time we’re on São Miguel, we’ll build a long visit into a broader exploration of the northwestern area of the city.
翻译:在蓬塔德尔加达之旅的最后一天,我们在这个花园里度过了一个小时左右,在退房和归还租车准备搭乘下一班航班的间隙,我们顺便在花园里待了一会儿。附近的停车位似乎很难找。花园免费入场。花园周围有多条不同高度的小径,提供绝佳的树荫、静谧的水景和一些简单的石窟。有些树木不仅体量巨大,而且郁郁葱葱,美不胜收。六月下旬,各种花卉盛开,令人叹为观止:色彩缤纷!公园里还有许多鸡鸭,还有几只猫在阴凉的角落里打盹,更增添了这里的氛围。下午早些时候,游客数量相对可控。下次我们去圣米格尔岛时,会安排一次较长的游览,以便更广泛地探索这座城市的西北部地区。
