The Gruta das Agulhas is the main attraction of the village Porto Judeus. This village is the oldes settlement on Terceira, as Jácome de Bruges is said to have landed here with the first settlers. The cave is a typical lava tube, which means a more or less circular tube with no special attractions. The location at the coast is impressive, and a visit on a stormy day could be a bit wet.
