Terceira

in

Terceira is a medium sized island in the Azores, with rolling farmland, volcanic formations and settlements concentrated around sheltered coasts. A historic main town, military heritage and cattle farming give the island a varied identity. The relationship between volcanic hills, bright harbour towns and pasture roads across an atlantic island shaped by farming and maritime history and island gives the wider destination a distinctive structure beyond its principal visitor area.

Walking, driving and coastal viewpoints reveal its open landscapes, while caves and volcanic interiors add geological depth. Local festivals and food make village life an important part of the experience. Spending time with both volcanic hills and bright harbour towns and pasture roads across an atlantic island shaped by farming and maritime history reveals more of the destination than focusing only on its best known sights.
