The Azores

These islands are a place I return to again and again, for their beauty, their quietness, the sea, and for the people who live there.

In the Azores, the ocean is never just a backdrop. You can feel it breathing around the islands, calm and generous on some days, immense and unforgiving on others.

And then there is the light and the colours. The deep blues and greens that seem to belong only to this part of the Atlantic. At times, the islands feel unreal, the real “Ilhas na Bruma” (Islands in the mist).
