Agualva, Parish town in Terceira Island, Azores, Portugal
The parish stretches across 38.75 square kilometers of land, situated at an elevation of 186 meters above the Atlantic Ocean on Terceira Island.
Established in 1588, Agualva separated from Vila Nova to become an independent parish, marking a significant administrative change in the Azores region.
The Igreja Paroquial church dedicates its celebrations to Our Lady of Guadalupe through annual festivities starting on August 15.
The land supports agricultural activities with numerous water mills along the Agualva and Filipe rivers, enabling traditional flour production for local needs.
Two volcanic peaks, Pico Alto at 807 meters and Pico Agudo at 798 meters, create natural boundaries on the western edge of Agualva.
