The
Azores Archipelago is a group of nine distinct islands, lying
on the same latitude as New York and Lisbon, around 950 miles
from the Portuguese capital. Legend has it that they are the
tips of the lost continent of Atlantis but the stunning craggy
scenery points to volcanic rather than mythical origins.
Weather is of a mild maritime Mediterranean type and summers
are generally very good. Average temperatures range from 15-22C
(59-71F) with extremes being tempered by the passing gulf stream
and although they do get rain year round the weather is generally
very pleasant. |
You can fly
direct to the Azores from either Lisbon, Boston or Frankfurt with
TAP Air Portugal and SATA International. Connecting flights are
available from the UK, the US and many airports across Europe.
The most instantly
recognisable of the islands, Pico is dominated
by majestic Mount Pico, itself a steep-sided dormant volcano soaring
to 7,200ft on an island barely 10 miles wide.
Pico
is the highest mountain in Portugal and its peak is often shrouded
in clouds. However, views from the top over the central group of
islands are unbeatable on a clear day.
