About this experience
● ⛵ SÃO MIGUEL DOS MILAGRES - It is one of the oldest settlements in Alagoas and was colonized during the Dutch invasion. It is about 37 kilometers from Maragogi, and access is via the AL-101 highway.
-
Undoubtedly, it is one of the most beautiful places on the Costa do Corais, but it is not part of the itinerary of most tourists, whether they like it or not, this is a positive factor, because thus the Alagoas paradise remains reserved for few tourists and manages to maintain its atmosphere calm and full of charm.
