The Açores, Azores, the Portuguese volcanic islands in the middle of the Atlantic, have a year-round temperate climate (15ºC/59ºF-21ºC/70ºF) and sumptuous, lush landscapes.
 

The Azores
From an Azoran motorcycle enthusiast, a site which is very pleasant to use and look at. And in these days when Internet has become so commercial, it is nice to find a site which seems to have no purpose other than to share information.

Azores - Regional Tourist Board
An excellent site, lacking only a good accommodation service to be first-rate. The "Sporting Holidays" link offers a very wide range of possibilities.

Azores Tourist Guide
The parent company of this really impressive guide seems to have disappeared from the web, which suggests that the guide might follow soon. This would be a pity, as it is the best, most solid, thorough presentation of the Azores on the Internet.

Beautiful Azores
A charming name for a really disarmingly likable site. "This web-site is all about Azores, and contains a lot of information's, and many, many nice pictures from all of the 9 Azorean islands." Lovely.

Tim and Julia's Holiday in the Azores
Very nicely conveys the friendliness and hospitality of the people of these islands.

Virtual Azores
Good thinking on the part of this portal to leave the old English version up while they are overhauling the site. Others are less considerate.

The West End of Portugal - the Azores Archipelago
An interesting, if aimless page, with a lot of information and some attractive photographs.

Whalewatch Azores
A fascinating site. Whalewatching in the Azores was deliberately introduced as a small-scale replacement for the traditional, banned whaling industry. Sloow but beautiful, in keeping with its subject matter.

Whalewatching in the Azores
A lusciously illustrated page, inexplicably fast site from a company specializing in this kind of excursion.
