If you’re in the market for a balmy European beach vacation, you probably won’t find it in the Azores. As the locals will readily tell you, it’s common for the region – an autonomous group of Portuguese islandslocated in the mid-Atlantic – to experience four seasons in one day, and the temperature never climbs above 30 degrees Celsius. What you will find in the Azores is a peaceful and somewhat dreamy storybook-like landscape that’s filled with active adventures, natural wonders, and incredible views.
