Invitation
To you all EVS friends!
Following a Nordic tournament in the beautiful city of Örebro, we welcome you all to the most western region of Europe, the Azorean islands, to the third island of this archipelago, a place of wonder and nature, but also history, with the World Heritage town of Angra do Heroísmo (“The Bay of Heroism”), twice upon a time capital of Portugal.
In the middle of the North Atlantic, these green islands offer a lush nature, surrounded by the bluest sea, full of traditions and welcoming people, to those who dare to cross the ocean.
With this brief introduction and wishing for a very successful event full of joy, games, and renewed friendships, we hope to meet you all in person one year from now.
Regards,
The Azorean Regional Statistics Service
Why choose Terceira Island?
Welcoming, accessible, safe, with a mild climate, full of legends, traditions and an enviable gastronomic wealth.
Its biodiversity is enormous and there is a lot to do and discover. In addition to the stunning wealth and beauty of the natural landscapes, the island is known for having a unique heritage. Palaces, convents and churches in the splendor of the Renaissance, forts, landscaped gardens, streets and alleys full of life and colors, are the reason why the central area of the city of Angra do Heroísmo was included in the list of World Heritage by UNESCO in 1983. There are many adventures that the Island can provide: whale watching, diving in the Atlantic waters, walking or cycling through enchanted forests and lakes located in volcano caldera, moments of sport fishing, kayak trips along the island’s coastline, balloon rides, golf and many other activities for all tastes and ages. The kindness, joy and hospitality of the people of Terceira will surprise you. This will be an experience that will be etched in your memory.
