A Portuguese colony often described as the 'garden islands' of the Atlantic, the Azores enjoy a warm climate and are rich in flora and fauna. This new Bradt travel guide covers all nine of the volcanic islands. Highlights include the pretty spa villages, architectural sites on Sao Miguel Island and pastoral windmills on Graciosa. The natural history of the region, which includes hundreds of species of exotic flowers and plants plus many migrating birds, is given special prominence.
