Cozy houses in the green of the Azores
It seems like a pipe dream - to be in the Azores! But it is worth monitoring the prices to Portugal, and from there - to the islands in the distant Atlantic Ocean, and if you are successful coincidence, you will find yourself at a distance of 1300 km from the western coast of Eurasia with a small backpack for back.
The first sensations are as if I found myself in a fabulous country, life is so ideal, leisurely and comfortably here. And the landscapes around are like scenery: cows that do not know what cramped cowsheds are, grazing all year round among lush green meadows, divided into picturesque rectangles; terracotta roofs of neat low-rise houses; lush green forests, saturated with moisture and silence.
On Terceira, one of the islands of the archipelago, is the city of Angra do Heroísmo. With a rich 500-year history with houses of unique beauty and charisma, it is a UNESCO heritage.
Every house in this city is eye-catching. Small and very neat, they seem to have been carved by the hands of skilled craftsmen. The islanders' favorite color is white. This is probably why the city seems to be shining in the rays of the bright sun. The houses are designed in a traditional colonial style. Most often these are small two or one-story buildings, tightly adjacent to each other. But somehow there is no feeling of being crowded or crowded. Maybe because the vast ocean breathes nearby?
Large arched windows occupy almost the entire facade, letting in a lot of light and heat into the houses. They are always decorated with a frame of bright flowers, on the balconies there are pots with lush greenery and flowers. By the way, one of the favorite flowers of the islanders is hydrangea. If you manage to visit the Azores from April to September, you will be greeted by a riot of colors of these flowers, growing here everywhere: next to houses, along roadsides, in front gardens and squares, and even just in forest.
The indigenous inhabitants of the island honor traditions, carefully preserve the ancient objects inherited. At the same time, of course, these are practical and modern people. Their houses have everything you need for a comfortable life.
The Azores fall in love once and for all. Having been here, you take the whole world with you: emerald green of nature, soft slopes of volcanoes, whales, fountains splashing into the sky from afar, smiles of friendly islanders.
