I lived in Praia da Vitória for two years!

I am not surprised that the Carthaginians were there. If the Ancient Phoenicians could sail the 2,300 miles across The Mediterranean Sea, then its colony of Carthage could certainly sail the 900 miles off the coast of Portugal to reach the Azores.

It is very beautiful there but it only has two seasons, Sunny and Deluge.

I read some thing many years ago that suggested the Phoenicians had visited the coast of north America at GA and NC. Typical mooring holes in rocks. What they where after the article did not mention.
