Portugal's Azores |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| Located in the Atlantic Ocean west of Portugal, the islands of the Azores have long served as important transportation and communications links between the Americas and Europe. São Miguel is one of the Azores’s major islands and the site of the capital city, Ponta Delgada. Formed by the peaks of underwater volcanoes, much of the land of the Azores is hilly and covered in luxuriant vegetation. | ||||||
