Azores: Terceira
Welcome to Terceira, one of the islands in Portugal’s beautiful and beguiling Azores archipelago in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
It’s steeped in history with the oldest Azorean city, Angra do Heroismo, sitting colourfully on the island.
Memorable moments of Terceira: Walking deep into a volcanic cone (Algar do Carvão), sweeping views over the agricultural plains and visiting grand buildings from Portugal’s imperial past.
Excellent photos, Mike.

Nice “Inside the Volcano”, Mike! Long exposure and a tripod? :)

Thanks Richard. Just a higher ISO and a source of light from the opening to the cone!

Wow! A different look on Portugal, green landscapes, clouds and no tourism.

Yes! It’s pretty quiet there. That was my one great disappointment with Greece recently – overrun with visitors :(

You’re not the only tourist in the world. It’s nice to find some hidden gems, before the readers of your blog are going to visit them ;)

Well my Greek choice was a little too obvious. It was pretty nonetheless. Next destination should be a little off the beaten track :)
