About midway between the East Coast and mainland Portugal, in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, are the #Azores islands, once a stopping off point for ocean voyagers. The nine islands of the Azores make up an autonomous region of #Portugal, but they are still 800 miles from Portugal’s mainland. The islands are scattered over several hundred miles and constitute the closest point in Europe to the United States. A direct flight from Boston to the Azores takes only four hours– shorter than a trip to Las Vegas or Aruba.
