The Azores 

From Pierre Sousa Lima's Motopage, as this Azoran motorcycle enthusiast refers to his splendid website. The islands, their geography, history and nature, as well as eminently practical (not to say essential, given then nature of islands) matters like boats and planes.

Azores.com 

The "Practical Site of Azores," offering "guidance, information and travel reservation services for the destination Azores," which sounds a lot more commercial than the site really is. In fact, it contains a large amount of splendidly presented information on each of the islands, their geography, history, culture, landscape and festivals, though much of the content is taken from Pierre Sousa Lima's site listed below.

Visit Azores 

This regional tourist board's website is high-tech, beautifully designed, highly informative and very entertaining, covering the islands, their history, geography and climate, flight and boat connections, museums and culture and sporting holidays, which includes all kinds of activities from big game fishing to whale watching. Plus, for each island, accommodation, car rental, gastronomy, festivals and holidays and the most important places to visit. Unfortunately but amusingly, its English is execrable. It starts well, saying "For those who love nature, The Azores are heaven on earth," begins to struggle, e.g., "São Miguel has a lot to sea," and finally degenerates to levels of unintelligiblity rarely found even on the Internet: "In the center of the island of S. Miguel, I descend for a soft carpet until an amazingly white sand beach, an enormous crater, tipped for the deep sea of blue at north and south brightness, hides the long and oval Fire Lagoon." Danged if I know.
