Review
'As a first time visitor to the Azores, Brian found the Bradt Travel Guide to the islands a great companion, whether exploring Sao Miguel's coastline, volcanic interior or elegant old towns by car or on foot. Illuminating text and excellent town and walks maps. Author David Sayers, a botanical horticulturalist, has produced an informative, practical and user-friendly volume.' --EDP Saturday Magazine

Customer Reviews

Mostly great but could be a bit better
Like I have reviewed in other Bradt guides, I wish they would offer a few more pictures and definitely pics of each islands beauty. Also, the maps could be a bit larger and maybe in color. Of the choices available.....very few, this is the best choice, so far.
