Travel Guide: Portugal - Azores Archipelago Located west of the
European mainland, Portugal’s Azores archipelago comprises nine
islands spread over three groups. This grouping of islands
symbolizes the beginning of the grand adventure of discovery
that began in the 15th century and led the Portuguese to have a
presence in the four corners of the globe. Of volcanic origin,
the Azores are undoubtedly one of the last paradises in Europe -
appearing often in legends of the lost continent of Atlantis. In
this WatchMojo.com Presents video, we continue our travel series
with a look at Portugal’s Azores archipelago, which is also the
third stop of the 2012 Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series.
