The Azores are nine volcanic islands at the intersection of three tectonic plates 800 miles from Portugal. Measured from the sea floor, they're some of the tallest mountains on the planet. We visited the largest island, Sao Miguel, which is approximately 30 miles long and ten miles wide. The top five industries are agricultural - tourism is not in the top ten. It's a stunningly verdant, beautiful place.
I've never seen so many hydrangea in my life. They're planted along the roadways and have spread into the hills.
The soil and climate must be perfect for growing things.
