Jo\u00e3o Rocha is a barber and artist who studied and worked in places like London, Las Vegas, Florence, Milan, Dubai or Scotland. When he graduated, hardly anyone wanted to be a barber, it was a profession that was falling out of favor.<\/p>\n
He is currently one of the best known Portuguese barbers, is \u00a0the founder and manager of @thebarbershopbyjoaorocha, is nominated for a Grammy [Barber of the Year], has already been awarded a municipal honor medal for his contribution on promoting\u00a0 the Azores around the world, awarded by Praia da Vit\u00f3ria City Council, and a Medal of Business Merit by the Parish where it opened its first establishment.<\/p>\n
In his homeland, Jo\u00e3o recommends visiting Algar do Carv\u00e3o and the Biscoitos Bathing Area, but more than just places, he recommends above all that those who visit us participate or watch the island’s festivities: \u201cour traditions and our people are what\u00a0 makes the difference to the other islands.\u00bb<\/p>\n
The festivities he loves the most are the Sanjoaninas<\/em> and the Festas da Praia<\/em>.<\/p>\n But he also enjoys the celebrations of the Holy Spirit and the respective days of \u201cBodo\u201d, the Terceira Carnival and the \u201cMenino Mija\u201d at Christmas. \u00abIt’s all our celebrations, and you can’t find anything like them in any other part of the world.\u00bb<\/p>\n On a gastronomic level, Jo\u00e3o recommends trying…<\/p>\n The famous and traditional meet dish \u201cAlcatra\u201d, Holy Spirit soups, rice pudding and the traditional sweet brad \u201cmassa sovada\u201d. All delicacies that have a unique flavor on Terceira Island.<\/p>\n A perfect day on Terceira is\u2026<\/p>\n \u00ab\u2026a day of celebration. In other words, go to the forest in the morning to see the bulls, eat a bifana, then come in the \u00a0cars procession to the parish where the \u00a0festivities are taking place, watch the traditional Bull races(bulls with ropes on the street) and then stay for the festivities at night.<\/p>\n I could tell many stories but above all the good memories of all my childhood and adolescence that I spent. It is without a doubt one of the best places to live in the entire world.<\/p>\n I feel privileged to have been born on Terceira Island.\u00bb<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Jo\u00e3o Rocha is a barber and artist who studied and worked in places like London, Las Vegas, Florence, Milan, Dubai or Scotland.
