Ilha Terceira Travel Forum

We're plotting a secret surprise for my sister's 60th birthday. Our Dad was stationed on the island during the War and we'dlike to go there for sentimental reasons.
I've found a hotel in Praia and was wondering if anyone has knowledge of it.
It will be very difficult to get there from UK, but we'll attempt it!It'll be a long flight, stopping off at Lisbon...

Hi Looking for a comfortable hotel with a lot of character for our stay on Terceira this weekend. Keeping hearing about the big resort hotel...and the hotel Salles. Like to be within walking distance of town. Can y'all help?

I would like to go to Azory this summer. I'm just planing my journey. I try to find any ferry or boat from mainland (Lisbon?) to one of the Azory Islands. Mybe some of you know when I can find the information about that if this kind of connection is availabe. Is any sea agency is dealing with this? Or I have to go be plane? I prefer boat or ferry....
Thanks in advance for your help

I am planning a trip to Terceira in July 2006. Many of the attractions (Caldeira of Guilherme Moniz, Algar do Carvão, Natal Cave, BISCOITOS) were posted "Under Construction". Does anyone know if these are reopened for the 2006 season ?

I have read al about Sao Miquel's surf possibilities, but is there any surf on Ilha Tereica (please excuse my spelling)? Also, what are the medical facilities like? My wife has asthma and is concerned about moving there. We are teachers considering a move there.
