A little piece of Europe in the Atlantic.
Anchored in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, these islands promise a pleasant, mild climate almost all year round. However, thanks to abundant annual rains, there is a profusion of flowers and plants in the Acores: hydrangeas, azaleas, camellias, oleanders, or magnolias !
Heirs to a long whaling tradition, the Acores are conservationists of this local fauna; you may be able to see dolphins and whales playing on the horizon.
volcanic islands, their topography is ideal for hiking in the hills.
