Featured Destinations
Ponta Delgada (Azores)
The nine mountainous islands of the Azores were long a haven for Atlantic traders and explorers sailing between the Old and New Worlds. On the green and fertile island of Sao Miguel, Ponta Delgada was once no more than a fishing village. 16th and 17th century economic growth saw the construction of lavish palaces and churches of the period, many still surviving. Not to be missed are the twin crater lakes of Sete Cidades, just a causeway apart, but the one blue, the other green.
Madeira
The Island of Madeira is situated in the north Atlantic Ocean off the coast of northwest Africa. There is a wide range of opportunities for leisure time. The Atlantic invites you sailing, fishing, whale & dolphin spotting, water skiing, surfing, diving and swimming. Sea temperatures vary between 18 to 24 ºC depending on the time of year. For sub aquatic enthusiasts, the Garajau coast line offers one of Europe's first underwater nature reserves. Back on land there is a vast amount of leisure activities available - such as tobaggan rides and parks.
