Serretinha, Terceira Azores

What a beautiful morning flight around the scenic hillside of Serretinha, a small portion of the frequesia Feteira.

Serretinha, Feteira, Terceira, Azores, Portugal


This area is crossed by a significant alignment, which corresponds to the fracture that created the inner face of the Serra da Ribeirinha and extends out to sea as far as the "Ilhues das Cabras" (islets of Cabras), which it crosses, creating the channel that separates the two islets. The vertical movements associated with this fault explain the unevenness between the Achada plateau and the Serra da Ribeirinha and between the two Cabras islets, with the westernmost one clearly lowered. As a result of this relief, the area of the parish closest to the sea was named Serretinha, a recurring name in Azorean toponymy, in the forms of serreta and serretinha, as a diminutive of serra, reflecting the abundance of hills and the steep slope of the terrain in that area.
