Viewpoint over the city of Angra do Heroísmo, in Monte Brasil

In 1499, when Vasco da Gama’s fleet returned to Lisbon on its first sea voyage to India, the return to the sea to catch favorable winds and the more serious state of Paulo da Gama’s illness led it to approach the Azores , and disembarking on Terceira island.

Paulo Gama, his brother, ended up passing away and was buried, according to Damião Góis, «in a shallow grave, on which a marble stone was placed with his name; This grave is on the porch of the sacristy of the chapel of Nossa Senhora da Guia» (where the Angra do Heroísmo Museum currently operates).

According to other authors, Vasco da Gama was deeply shaken by his brother’s death, having been in Terceira for between 1 and 3 months.

12.1 km from Angra do Heroísmo, it is one of the most pronounced bays in the municipality.

It had an extensive solarium and two jetties with stairs providing access to the sea. Like others, it also has a semi-natural swimming pool that is very popular with the little ones.

There is a monument and a tombstone at the site that invoke the famous Battle of Salga, where the landing of Castilian troops, in 1581, was stopped by the local population using wild cattle, thus repelling the invader.
