We took bus 3 from Biscoitos to the start of this trail. We were happily surprised that the bus stopped right at the start (unlike other trails on the island). The trail takes you from meadows to the sea and back. Along the way there are some beautiful viewpoints where you can see the waves bash into the cliffs. At certain points you have the option to decent the cliffs, but this is very challenging and possibly dangerous. Nonetheless I gave them a go, while my girlfriend watched from a distance with fear in her eyes for my safety. After you leave the seaside, you take some overgrown trails which tickle your legs a lot. Because the trail is rather short, we decided to extend it and walk further towards the town Quatro Ribeiras. Here we ate our lunch and waited for the bus back to Biscoitos.

A must see! The owner made a bowl right in front of us and it took less than 5 minutes. Gave us a tour and a bit of history of how pottery is made and why so many different colors of clay depending on which part of the island the clay was from. I even bought the pot to cook their famous Alcatra dish in!

Great hike around the mountain and fortress to the top with incredible views. About 8 kilometers! We met a bunch of friendly cats near the top!

Our cruise ship was diverted to Praia da Vitoria and we really enjoyed this stop. We decided to start by hiking up to Miradouro Do Facho and the views over the town, the harbour and parts of the island were beautiful! The hike up the steep steps took us a while, but we took our time (maybe 30 minutes). Wear comfortable shoes; it makes the hike up those uneven steps so much easier! It was so totally worth it! We decided to hike down the road back into town and the landscape on the other side was breathtaking! Walking through farms with the wonderful views...it was great!

Angra has had three city halls. The first city hall had a small square in front. Later, the trade from India and the importance of the city led to the construction of a larger square and a new building with lateral staircases, a portico with columns, and a bell tower. The existing city hall was built in the nineteenth century and was inspired by the Oporto's old City Hall. It has one of the largest and grandiose great halls in the country.
Interesting Historic Building Free To Enter And walk around, we went upstairs to the two large rooms, very nice to see the architecture and paintings, you will spend around 10 to 15 minutes visiting the interior.

Well worth the effort to get to the top of the weather is clear. We trekked up the road using Google Maps. When he headed down, we used the easier walking path with steps and landings and beautiful plants and flowers that ended in the botanical gardens (Duke of Terceira’s Garden).

The view of the Island from this viewing platform is amazing. From here you can see several dairy farms and may pastures. it is so green. Hint it was very windy/cool on the platform - wear a light weight jacket or sweater.
