This is a photo of a village from Sao Jorge, Acores - the Portuguese island my family is from originally. My family isn't from this specific town but I went to it when I was about 10 years old. It's a very out-of-the-way town, you have to take this narrow road through the mountains to get there, it's so narrow that 2 cars can hardly fit on it side by side. When you get to the village it has a church and some houses but hardly anyone lives there any longer. But each year they have a big festival there and people from all over the island go to it - at least they used to when I was a kid, it's been over 10 years but I'm pretty sure they still continue having the festival each year. I really liked visiting that town when I was a kid and I hope to do it again some day. So here is a picture of it for all to enjoy!
