The parish is dotted with traditional stone houses, appealing churches, and agricultural plots bordered by blue hydrangeas. Visitors can savor local Azorean cuisine, featuring fresh seafood and dairy products, in small village eateries. Cedros is a convenient destination for an authentic island experience.
