The Azores are a set of 9 islands which are located in full Atlantic Ocean, between Europe and America. They are a paradise for those who love nature. We are going to describe them one by one:
– Santa Maria. It is next to Sao Miguel. It is made up of large slopes covered with vineyards. Here is the chapel of the Anjos where Columbus prayed on his return trip from the discovery of America.
– Sao Miguel. It is the largest island. You can enjoy great landscapes with infinity of flowers and beautiful lagoons.
– Terceira. It is the most historical, since it is home to Angra do Heroísmo, the first European city born in the Atlantic, declared a World Heritage Site.
– Funny. It is very small. It is characterized by its mysterious lagoon located at the bottom of a volcanic cave. We can also find its vine-covered fields where the blades of many mills shake.
– Sao Jorge. Ideal destination for hiking. Abundance of trails and established routes all facilitated by the absence of highways.
– Peak. The mountain that comes from the sea. Its vineyards are located in black lava fields. Great whaling tradition.
– Faial. Its beaches are dark sand, but the different shades of blue that decorate the houses have given the island of Isla Azul its name.
– flowers. It is like a large garden that surrounds the sea. It is made up of several lagoons excavated by volcanoes.
– Corvo. A curious miniature island with a large crater in the center.
The Azores enjoy a mild weather all year round, without great temperature variations.
