Amid the quiet pastures and pretty fishing villages of the Azores, a tranquillity reigns that belies the turbulent geological past that gave birth to this cluster of volcanic islands. Fully updated for this new edition, Azores: The Bradt Travel Guide allows you to get the very most from a glorious landscape. Scale the rugged sides of Pico mountain or take a gentler stroll to the mythical lakes of Sete Cidades. Walk the length of Europe's westernmost coastline on the island of Flores or explore the narrow streets of Angra, a World Heritage City. Whatever you choose, you cannot fail to be enchanted by these 'Garden Islands of the Atlantic'.
