Praia da Vitoria, on the Island of Terceires, The Azores, Portugal

Description from Wikipedia

Praia da Vitória (Portuguese for "Victory Beach") is a municipality in Portugal's Autonomous Region of the Azores (Portuguese: Região Autónoma dos Açores). It is located on the eastern fringe of the island of Terceira.

It is the second largest municipality on the island, after Angra do Heroísmo. Until 1981, when the Azorean Parliament passed an act elevating Praia da Vitória to the rank of city ("cidade" in Portuguese), the town was also known as Vila da Praia da Vitória (in Portuguese "vila" means a small town and is the title given to all capitals of municipalities which are not cities).
