In the Azores, we have nine different volcanic islands. So you have flying sites pretty much everywhere. And being in the middle of the Atlantic, we always have wind from some kind of direction. So there’s always a place you can fly. The weather is really challenging, but for the best flying you probably want to go to the main island of São Miguel. It’s bigger, there are more thermals and more sites – you can fly longer distances.
But if you are looking at some nice hike-and-fly and cool soaring sites the Triangle Islands – where I live – are really cool and accessible by ferry. We have the highest mountain in Portugal called Pico, 2,350m on Pico island....
