Title: Angra do Heroismo

[<< Prev Post] | [Next Post >>]
[Back to Index/Map]

Angra do Heroismo, capital of Terceira

We stayed two nights at the Marina and 1 night at anchor. We enjoyed this town a lot and are impressed by its stylish aspect and friendly people.

Filled with History with old forts, palaces, convents, churches, all beautifully scattered over the hills along the coast.

The last photo shows Paul watching a bull chase on one of the many screens in town, pleased to be watching it on TV and not life!

Note the beautiful patterns of the cobbled streets. I made it a little project taking pictures and close up of this amazing craftsmanship
