AZORES Enjoy the popular island culture on the Azores Islands, set in stunning natural surrounds. The Azores Islands are an archipelago of nine Islands in the Atlantic Ocean. The name Azores was derived from a Portuguese word “azures”, which translated is the plural of the word blue. The islands are peaceful, quiet and scenic. The island is full of blue and green lagoons that are shadowed by high peaked mountains. Festivals are popular and tourism attractions are plentiful. But a holiday to the Azores is all about unwinding, grasping a break from a hectic daily life and enjoying nature at its best. 91
