Description

View alongside the Misericordia, Angra do Heroismo Returning to Terceira is for us like a coming home. Alongside the Misericordia you have a view on the Atlantic Ocean!! The little terrace is a very nice place to drink a coffee, beer or a few nice glasses of white wine, in the meantime you have a nice look over the little harbor and the Atlantic Ocean. A place where you can relax till late in the evening. Thanks for your time for viewing and your kind comments on my previous upload Henk Angra do Heroísmo is the historical capital of the Azores; it is also the archipelago's oldest city, dating back to 1450, classified as a World Heritage site by UNESCO in 1983. Some claim that Angra was founded by Álvaro Martins, who sailed with Didrik Pining on his expedition to the New World, and with Bartolomeu Dias on his voyage around the Cape of Good Hope. Others contend that Angra was founded in 1450 or 1451 by Jácome de Bruges, a Fleming in the service of Prince Henry the Navigator, who recruited farmers, fishermen, and merchants in the Low Countries to colonize the Azores.(from Wikipedia)

Gorgeous! I can imagine sitting with you looking out at this. How refreshing! The different buildings are very interesting and I love the way the street opens up to the water.
