The Azores
Composed of nine volcanic islands situated in the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean, this Portuguese archipelago is one of the few unspoilt paradises on the planet.
Straddling the mid-Atlantic ridge around 950 miles west of Lisbon lies the stunning Azores archipelago. Often described as the tips of the lost continent of Atlantis, the islands maintain an Old World charm that is difficult to find almost anywhere else in Europe.
