Terceira is the second-most populous island in the Azores, known for its rich cultural charm. It features a unique blend of volcanic geography, beautiful flora, and hiking trails alongside distinct culinary traditions and winemaking. The city of Angra do Heroísmo, a former capital, holds significant historical value with numerous festivals. The hospitality and warm character of Terceira's residents are celebrated. Visitors arriving in late June can experience the lively Sanjoaninas Festival, which showcases a variety of sporting events, concerts, and parades.
As the Azores' second-most populous island, Terceira offers plenty more-by way of a lively former capital-to travelers. According to local tour guide Miguel Linhares, what makes Terceira particularly special is that it has a little bit of what the other islands are known for-volcanic geography, beautiful flora, hiking trails-plus unique culinary traditions and even wine-making.
Terceira island is often called by the residents of the other eight islands an amusement park-it suits us fine actually. I think that our hospitality and cheerful character stand out.
If you make it to Terceira at the end of June, you'll be treated to the Sanjoaninas Festival, a multi-day spectacle celebrated all over the island with sporting events, concerts, parades.
