Azores

The Azores, a group of nine volcanic islands located in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, is a hidden gem for photography enthusiasts. This Portuguese archipelago boasts stunning landscapes, crystal-clear waters, and unique flora and fauna. The Azores offer a diverse range of photography locations, from the dramatic cliffs of Sao Miguel to the colorful houses of Terceira. The islands are also home to several natural wonders, including hot springs, waterfalls, and volcanic craters.

Sete Cidades, Sao Miguel, Azores

Legend has it that the colours of the two lakes were created by the tears of a princess and her lover when the king forbade their romance. The king allowed one last visit between the princess and the young shepherd. At this meeting the princess and her young lover shed tears that formed the two lakes, each with a colour matching their eyes.

The gates marked the city's entry point. They were removed from their original location due to the construction of Avenida Infante D. Henrique (Prince Henry Avenue) and were placed where they now stand in 1952.
