The Azores combine typical Portuguese architecture with rugged volcanic countryside and wild rocky coasts.
When you travel around the world as a European, you can see traces of European countries in every other continent. It is sometimes amazing to realize, taking into account the current size of the country, how much territory was actually under its control just a few hundred years ago. Of all the former colonial powers, it has always struck me that Portugal still struggles with its current status of a smaller nation. It gives me a sensation of melancholy, of looking back in the glorious past, instead of looking defiantly to the future with all its opportunities. I definitely noticed this in Lisbon, and I was curious enough to travel to the outlying Azores islands.
