Lighthouses on the Azores
Lighthouses on the Azores
Saw an interested article in the Ann Arbor News from John Deiner of the Washington Post on traveling to the Azore Islands. The Azores are part of Portugal and are located about 800 miles west of that country in the Atlantic Ocean. One of the most striking lighthouses is the Capelinhos Lighthouse which is on the island of Faial and survived a volcanic eruption in 1957. The lighthouse has hardened ash all along its base
Here are some links to resources on lighthouses in this beautiful place (I think I would love to go there):
