The houses with their curious chimneys. The fact that most of the settlers of Terceira came from the Alentejo and Algarve in southern Portugal is revealed by the rural houses, with their white walls and coloured edgings along the doors, windows and corners. Made up of dressed stones forming a rectangular parallelepiped which ends in a wedge, the chimneys are called mão-postas by the people. To prevent rain from entering, many have a terminal part made of bricks or tiles. Typical, too, are the "aprons" of dressed stone; rounded or of straight lines, they come down from the window sill and end in a fleur-de-lis, point or rosette.Every house in Terceira has a surrounding garden and next to it is the burra de milho where the ears of maize are kept when they are not simply hung from the branches of trees, which offers a unique and unexpected sight.luxury hotels, apartments, pensionen,ideal for congresses kongresse ,incentives, messen,car rentals autovermietungen, urlaub, reiseagenturen,werbung,advertisment,last minute flights,aviaton, airlines inbound,outbound, touroperators,vacation rentals,holiday regions, vehicle rentals, conventions, travel agencies,autoverleih,mietwagen,unterkünfte,reisebüros,fluglinen,reiseagenturen,rent a cars, yachting agencies,advertising,banner adds,web design,cruises,shipping agencices, conventions,ticketing
