Where are the Azores?
The Azores is a Portuguese archipelago of 9 islands in the middle of the Atlantic - slightly closer to Europe than American
What language will they speak?
The Azores are Portuguese islands so the locals speak Portuguese. You'll have no problem with the language - we promise
What is the currency?
The island uses the Euro - it can be a good idea to bring some with you, but it is easy to access money from atms on the island. It's a good idea to let your credit card company or bank know that you're traveling.
What do I pack?
The weather in July should be perfect - high 80, low 70 with high humidity. Bring clothes to layer, a rain coat, hiking shoes or good sneakers, and don't forget your bathing suit! Swim shoes could be helpful with the volcanic stones but not necessary. A converter for your electronics will also be necessary - although we hope you won't spend much time on your phone!
