Terceira, the third-largest island in Portugal's Azores archipelago, blends natural beauty, rich history and vibrant culture. The main city, Angra do Heroísmo, is a UNESCO World Heritage site with colourful Renaissance architecture and impressive 16th-century fortifications. Visitors can explore dramatic volcanic landscapes, including the stunning Algar do Carvão cave and the scenic Monte Brasil peninsula. The island is known for its traditional bullfighting festivals and the lively Sanjoaninas, celebrated each June with parades, music and cultural events. The Holy Spirit Festivals, held throughout summer across the island, showcase Azorean traditions with processions, decorations and community feasts. From Terceira's Praia da Vitória port, travellers can easily connect to other Azorean islands like São Miguel, Faial and Pico, making it an excellent base for exploring this unique Atlantic archipelago.
Faial Island, part of Portugal's Azores archipelago, is known as the 'Blue Island' due to the countless hydrangeas that bloom across its landscape in summer. This volcanic island offers stunning natural beauty with dramatic coastlines, lush green hills, and the impressive Capelinhos Volcano, where you can see the aftermath of the 1957-58 eruption that expanded the island. The main town of Horta is famous for its marina, where sailors from around the world stop during Atlantic crossings and leave colourful paintings on the harbour walls – a tradition believed to bring good luck. Visitors can enjoy whale watching tours, as the waters around the Azores are home to over 20 cetacean species. The island hosts the lively Semana do Mar (Sea Week) festival each August, featuring sailing competitions, music, and cultural events. From Horta, ferries connect to the neighbouring islands of Pico, São Jorge, and Terceira, making Faial an excellent base for exploring the central Azores.
