Off to Azores and away from school
On April 1st we went by bus to the airport, ready for
a trip full of excitement to the Azores where we were going to get away from
school and our problems. After several air trips and a bumpy landing, we were
able to finally land on the island of São
Miguel. Seen from above we can observe the different Volcanic calderas and
a beautiful vegetation that covers the slopes.
In the Azores we visited different tourist spots but
what impressed me most in a positive way were the Furnas, where we can take hot baths in hot springs that have
therapeutic properties. On one of the Furnas we
went we had several places to bathe where the temperature varies between 29 and
39 degrees. But the Furnas
were not the only places that left me dazzled, the beauty of nature in the
Azores also impressed me, because it contains a type of vegetation that I had
never seen before, different species of plants that do not exist in Continental
Portugal.
To
conclude, this was a trip that marked me and allowed me to forget about school.

Azores, the most beautiful island in the world!
Azores is an amazing island that belongs to Portugal, but islocatedon the Atlantic Ocean. It is known for its green landscapes, its tropical climate and the famous natural baths, not forgetting the cows.
When I think of this island, one of
the landscapes that springs to mind is the Monumento
da Caldeira Velha, a beautiful natural park whose view is engraved in my
memory, especially the path we took until we reached the natural pools.This
path was filled with vegetation all around, it was all
green and conveyed a sense of well-being because we were so much in contact
with nature.Personally, I loved that incredible view, full of tall trees, hills
and the chirping of birds in the background, it was the perfect scenery.

Azores, the island
where everything happens…
I will start by saying that everything happened on the trip to the Azores, na island on the Atlantic ocean. The Azores are known for their green tone and the fantastic culture that we can find there. More specifically, in this descriptive text I will describe a moment, in a place where we felt many emotions, feelings and strenghthened our friendship!
In this picture,
as we can see, there are two predominant colors, green in the background and brown
at the front, or rather, in the water. This place is called “Parque Terra Nostra” and is a great touristic
point, where there is a large swimming pool or lagoon, where people can
experience the high temperature of the water and the benefits it provides us.The
brown lagoon at this place is surrounded by stone and further down are
restrooms where we can change our clothes. There is vegetation all around. What
captivated me the most about this picture and what it represents is our satisfaction
and genuine happiness, and that was exactly why I chose it.
It was fantastic and even if I can’t do it again with fantastic people, it was already
worth it for the friendship we left there, for the adventure that we lived and
for the memories we keep!

Memories from Azores
In this photo we can see our class, 11A, in a natural pool of hot water heated by volcanoes where the water is in constant movement with little waterfalls. We are very happy and smiling, as you can see, because we were having a new and spectacular experience. This is a great pool where we can be together despite being twenty eight person at the same time.
We had a great time, we got to know our
friends and teachers better, who are also our friends.
The water is dark due to the iron it contains.
In the background we can see a lot of natural vegetation that gives us the
feeling of being in the woods.
