III. LOCATION

The Azores Islands are a Portuguese archipelago made up of nine islands in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Lush and enigmatic, they are steeped in natural, cultural and mythological richness. São Miguel, is the largest island in the archipelago, where the modernity of Ponta Delgada coexists with rural life and pristine nature's imposing force. Craters became intense green and blue lakes, the cliffs plunge into the Atlantic and dense forests hold endemic flora and fauna, tea fields, misty valleys, and thermal rivers; every corner of the island exudes mystery and beauty. Furnas, one of its three active volcanoes, releases constant fumaroles that wrap the landscape in an almost surreal atmosphere. A setting that keeps alive a wide variety of legends from popular oral tradition, which have been a source of inspiration for various creators throughout history.
