Island cooking is built around fresh seafood, local cheeses and volcanic-soil wines, so meals on Terceira follow that pattern. Portuguese is the main language, spoken with distinctive island accents and local words, though visitors manage with English in many places. Sperm whales, dolphins and seabirds such as Cory's shearwater are seen on whale-watching trips from several ports, making the coast worth watching. Pico in the Azores is the highest mountain in Portugal, and vineyards there grow inside walls of volcanic stone, a reminder of how volcanic the archipelago is.
