Almost unknown by most tourists, Terceira is the most beautiful island in the North Atlantic. It is one of the nine islands that make up what we know as the Azores. As an autonomous region of Portugal, Terceira Island, alongwith the other islands are truly the “Hawaii of the Atlantic.” In this book, you will discover the vast history of Terceira from its megalithic monuments to its importance in the discovery of the Americas.
Its history played a strategic role from the 1400s to the present day, when it was the crucial stopover and mooring for both the Portuguese and Spanish fleet. Later in WWII, the Allied bombers and carrier ships utilized the island as an important link to the mission of freeing Europe from Nazi occupation.
