Land with 11,220.00 m2 Flat terrain Accessibility Sea View Mountain View Mosteiros is a Portuguese parish in the municipality of Ponta Delgada, with an area of 8.98 km² and 1,123 inhabitants (2011). Its population density is 125.1 inhabitants/km². It is located at the western end of the island, about 30 kilometres from the island’s capital, Ponta Delgada, and about ten kilometres from the Ferraria bathing area. It is at an altitude of 16 to 30 meters above sea level, being a kind of large fajã. The rest of the parish is much higher (Pico and Lombas) with altitudes between 140 and 190 meters. The Mosteiros have a road that allows the connection to Ponta Delgada, both from the South and from the North, as well as to the city of Ribeira Grande. The rainfall is one of the lowest on the island. The soil is very productive, perhaps because it is the youngest on the island, only 600 years old. #ref:326/T/03492
