The Azores belong to Portugal and represent one of the autonomous regions of the country. The Azores are composed of nine volcanic islands, which are located approximately 850 miles (~1,300 kilometers) west of mainland Portugal.

Blue green lakes of the Azores are considered one of the main landmarks of the islands. Tourists also love visiting volcanic craters and ancient churches, which may be found in almost every city on the islands.

The Azores have a population of about 250 thousand people, most of which are involved in agriculture, farming, tourism, and fishing. Ponta Delgada is the main and the largest settlement on the islands.
