ERC: Sata Rallye Acores / Rally review
Dance on the
volcanoes
In the middle of the Atlantic Ocean the
Archipelago of the Azores provides
the last stop for sailors attempting to
cross the ocean from Europe to the
Americas. The islands are small and
remote but their location and volcanic
nature make them green havens in
the vast blueness of the ocean. Far
from mainland Europe and with only
a small local market, why would the
ERC want to rally there? Well, the
islands boost some of the best and
most picturesque stages in the world.
