Did You Know?
The Azores sit roughly 1,400 kilometres from mainland Portugal, in the middle of the Atlantic where three tectonic plates meet. The archipelago's Mount Pico, at 2,351 metres, is Portugal's highest point.
The clock: the Azores keep UTC−1, an hour behind mainland Portugal — the only part of the EU on that offset, and the last European land the sun sets on each day.
