A green eyed princess fell in love with a blue eyed shepherd boy. At last the princess' father forbid them to be together. With saddened hearts they met one last time to say goodbye. Two pools were formed, one by the tear drops of the green eyed princess & one by the blue eyed shepherd boy. It was then that the lake of the sete cidades was made and it tells of their love for eternity.--The tale of the Sete Cidades as it was told to me.
