| The population of Terciera was around 57,000, and its size was just a little smaller than that of Pico. We spent six wonderful days enjoying Angra do Heroismo and the island of Terceira. We explored many of Angra�s beautiful buildings and churches and visited its museum. We toured the large impressive Spanish fortress �Fortaleza de Sao Joao Baptista� built in the late 16th century, hiked to the top of Monte Brasil, and tried �alcatra,� a meat dish cooked and served in a clay pot. From our boat, the sounds of church bells could regularly be heard. |
