The archipelago of the Azores is made up of nine islands spread across a region in the Mid Atlantic, between America and Europe. Since their discovery in the 14th century, the Azores have played an important role as a staging and victualling point for ships crossing the Atlantic, an enviable location for nations with New World colonies. Today the Azores are an autonomous region of Portugal, characterised by dramatic landscapes, quaint fishing villages, centuries old farms, green pastures and hedgerows of blue hydrangeas. The countryside is little changed from centuries ago and the farms, villages, churches and monasteries transport us back in time. Green, volcanic and remote, the islands provide an opportunity to experience a bygone era, to slow down and to enjoy the tranquil beauty of the islands. Come with us as we explore four of the islands: Terceira, Faial, Pico and São Miguel. Each has its own history and its own beauty. We shall see and feel all that these islands have to offer from their historic centres to their smallest farmsteads, from the beautiful seascapes to the active volcanoes and everything in between. Be sure to book early as this will be a small group and we have limited space available.
