Serra do Cume and the Patchwork

Terceira’s best-known viewpoint reveals fields drawn by stone walls.

From Serra do Cume, green fields create the famous patchwork landscape, with Praia da Vitória and the Atlantic beyond.

The view tells the agricultural story of the island and how land was divided and sheltered from the wind.

Visit in the morning or late afternoon and bring a layer: wind and clouds can change quickly.
