PMR-D10440 Portugal, Azores Islands, Sao Miguel, Ponta Delgada: pineapples being cultivated under glass. Since the profitable orange trade was lost at the end of the 19th century, oranges have been replaced to a limited extent by pineapples. The company of the founder of the plantations, August Arruda, is still the main producer, and his bust stands as a memorial before the modern glasshouses.
