Sao Joao is a pretty fishing village set between two misterios (massive lava structures left from volcanic eruptions). The village was almost completely destroyed by a volcanic eruption in 1718, which buried its original church and many other buildings. The village was subsequently rebuilt and has a small port, one of the first that was used as a whale hunting base. The modern day inhabitants have won widespread fame for making the savoury cheese that bears the name of the village.
