Portugal: Azores, Sao Miguel waters

Everyone has heard of the Azores … At least during a weather report. 😉 Indeed, an anticyclone is covering the Azores. It acts like a barrier and prevents precipitation to come to West Europe. However, this is synonymous of heavy rains and strong winds to the Azorean population.

It took me a few minutes after getting out of the plane to realize that water is omnipresent in the Azores. Rain, coulees, Hot springs getting out from nowhere, torrents, waterfalls … all in a small island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean! You see for yourself on the pictures that I have created, that water is everywhere ! Take a poncho!
