Click here to view a Map of Terceira Island.
Surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, Açores was the name given to the 9 active volcanic islands approximately 900 miles off the coast of mainland Europe and 2,500 miles east of New York. The discovery dates back to the early 14th century when Portuguese navigators first set eyes on the archipelago (the large group of islands). Terceira, meaning three, was the third of the islands to be discovered. The island is roughly 15 miles long and 11 miles wide. Our home was located on the northeastern most part of Terceira in the town of Lajes.
