ABOUT THE AZORES
About a third of the way across the North Atlantic Ocean, from the European side, there is an archipelago owned by Portugal called the Azores. The Azores are roughly 1,643 km/1,021 miles west of Lisbon and all together have a population of about 250,000. It also happens to be home to the Europe’s Tallest Living Christmas Tree.
