The most western village of São Miguel is Mosteiros. It has impressive cliffs but also a black sand beach. The village is primarily recognizable by a group of islets that lie offshore. The word 'Mosteiros', meaning monastery in Portuguese, was named after the largest islet that is shaped like a church.
