Macaronesia “Islands of Colours”

A Discover-Europe Series Achievement

Azores is one of Portugal’s two autonomous regions (along with Madeira). It is an archipelago composed of nine volcanic islands in the Macaronesia region of the North Atlantic Ocean. Its main industries are agriculture, dairy farming, livestock, fishing, and tourism, which has become a major service activity in the region. The Azores have served as a waypoint for refueling aircraft flying between Europe and North America.

Madeira is an autonomous region of Portugal. It is an archipelago situated in the North Atlantic Ocean, in the region of Macaronesia. Madeira sits on the African Tectonic Plate, although it is culturally, politically, and ethnically associated with Europe, its population predominantly descended from Portuguese settlers.

Canary Islands, also known informally as the Canaries, are a Spanish region, autonomous community, and archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean. They are the southernmost of the autonomous communities of Spain. The islands have a population of 2.2 million people and are the most populous special territory of the European Union.

Experience the thrill of this unforgettable journey through the scenic landscapes of the Macaronesia region. Fly safe and enjoy the adventure!
