This August I visited two of the Azores Islands, namely S. Miguel and Santa Maria. Situated in the North Atlantic Ocean, The Archipelago of the Azores is composed of nine volcanic islands. Despite all the islands have volcanic origins, Santa Maria have had no recorded activity since the islands were settled.
Until recently it was pretty hard to find people (outside of Portugal) who knew the beauty and singularity of the Azores Islands, so it’s good to know that the world seems to be waking up now.

Neste mês de Agosto visitei duas das Ilhas Açorianas, nomeadamente S. Miguel e Santa Maria. Localizadas no Oceano Atlântico Norte, o Arquipélago dos Açores é composto por nove ilhas vulcânicas. Embora todas as ilhas tenham origem vulcânica, Santa Maria não tem actividade registada desde que as ilhas se estabeleceram.
Até muito recentemente não era fácil encontrar (fora de Portugal) quem conhecesse a beleza e singularidade destas ilhas, por isso, é bom saber que o mundo está agora a começar a acordar.

awesome clicks… 🙂 thanks for sharing…
Beautiful landscapes!
Good morning, thanks for your information and pictures with the “Agapanthus” flowers, which we have also seen in the Madeira island.I also like you writing in Portuguese. Best regards Martina
I have always felt a visit to the islands would be a grand time. They seem a bit of a mystery out to sea so far. Maybe that is what intrigues me.
They’ve been on my list forever. I’ve got a friend who’s moved there recently and she’s loving it. Great pictures too!
Thank you =)
i would love to visit the islands one day…
They’re on mine too, Ana. I think it’s a fairly short season? I’m kind of hoping that when I finally get to live in Portugal I’ll find cheap flights there. I can dream 🙂
Ahaha well, right now we can all only dream about the cheap flights… Since they’re all operated by SATA they’s pretty expensive when compared to other destinations. Flights between islands are in my opinion too expensive but an effective way to travel from one island to another. (I tried the boat too, which is a little cheaper, but personally boats aren’t my favourite).
Gorgeous!
would love to just sit there and breathe and watch and listen
The Azores are on my list! I’m thinking maybe next September….
I’m certain you’ll enjoy! It’s a pretty interesting place to visit =)
Beautiful scenic views and wonderful photos!
Thank you =)
Wow, they are magnificent..!!
No tengo el gusto de conocerlas, pero por la referencias que tengo, y por fotografías, sé que son unas Islas muy parecidas a las mías.
Bellas panorámicas has conseguido.
Un abrazo desde las Islas Canarias.
