Summary

Azores: A Nature Lover’s Paradise

Now in its eighth edition, Bradt’s Azores remains the only comprehensive guidebook to this nine-island archipelago - a mountainous, nature-lover’s wilderness perched in the mid-Atlantic at the western extremity of Europe.

About The Author

David Sayers

David Sayers is a horticulturist and author who studied at Royal Botanic Gardens Kew and overseas, and has spent a lifetime exploring the world for plants. Running a travel company for 26 years, in 1984 he pioneered the first walking/botanical tour to the Azores. Sayers has been going back ever since, enjoying numerous excellent hikes on all nine islands, and has led many tours, sharing his enthusiasm for Azorean life. As the islands have gradually joined the modern world without losing their native charm, Sayers’ journey has been one of constant discovery, finding new walks, new eateries and new interests. One of his keenest memories was offshore, spotting fin, blue and pilot whales in one magical morning off Ponta Delgada. Sayers has also helped restore several of São Miguel’s historic gardens, which are now visitor ‘must-sees’. Even after a lifetime of worldwide travel, the Azores remain his favourite destination.
