Ribera Afonso is the central beachfront area of the city of São Tomé, capital of the African island nation of São Tomé and Principe, located on the northeast coast of São Tomé and bordering the Atlantic Ocean. As an important hub for the country's politics, economy and culture, it is home to a concentration of colonial Portuguese architectural styles, with colorful houses set against the blue waters of the sea, forming a unique cityscape. Ribeira Alfonso is also home to São Tomé's main port, where fishing and trading activities are active, and is at the center of national affairs due to its proximity to the Presidential Palace, the Central Market and other key facilities. In terms of tourism, visitors are attracted by its pleasant climate and historic district, which is a window on São Tomé and Principe's blend of African and Portuguese culture.
