About

In São Miguel (Azores), Arco 8 is a pub at R. Eng. Abel Ferin Coutinho s/n, 9500-191 Ponta Delgada, Portugal.

The pub is known for drinks and a relaxed evening atmosphere in Ponta Delgada, the island's main town, with a website at arco8.blogspot.pt. First-time visitors can expect a bar setting for drinks and conversation rather than a full dining room. Visitors rate Arco 8 at 4.6 out of 5 from 243 reviews, a consistently strong score.

Ponta Delgada sits on São Miguel, and Furnas, Ribeira Grande, Lagoa, Vila Franca do Campo, Nordeste, Setes Cidades and Povoação are the other places on the island from which drinkers travel in.

Dairy farming and cattle-rearing shape the pastureland, so beef, butter and cheese are local staples worth ordering alongside a drink. Ferries link islands within the same group, and Porto Santo is reached by ferry or short flight from Madeira. Carnival, religious processions and bull-running on a rope are part of the island calendar.
