Passear pelas ruas coloridas, entrar nas igrejas, subir ao Monte Brasil ou simplesmente sentar numa esplanada a ver a vida passar \u00e9 obrigat\u00f3rio.\r\n<\/span>\r\n\r\n

\r\n\r\nWhat You Shouldn\u2019t Miss<\/strong><\/span>\r\n\r\n

    \r\n\r\n

    2. Serra do Cume: the viewpoint that defines Terceira<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\nThe view from Serra do Cume is probably the island\u2019s most iconic image. The green patchwork of pastures, the ocean on the horizon, and the unmistakable Azorean wind create a scene that stays with you. FYI - You can see it from Vivenda da Saudade.\r\n<\/span>\r\n\r\n

    \r\n\r\nDica:<\/strong> Go early or late in the afternoon for softer light.<\/span>\r\n\r\n

    \r\n\r\n\r\nAverage visit time:<\/strong> 30\u201340 minutes \r\nUnmissable:<\/strong> Look up and take in the volcano\u2019s opening, draped with hanging vegetation.\r\n<\/span>\r\n\r\n
