| Azores is one of the two autonomous regions of Portugal 'along with Madeira'. It is an archipelago composed of nine volcanic islands in the Macaronesia region of the North Atlantic Ocean, located about 1,500 km (930 mi) from Lisbon and about 3,900 km (2,400 mi) from the east coast of North America. | |
| The Monchique islet on Flores Island, is regarded as the westernmost point in Europe, even though from a geological standpoint the two westernmost Azorean islands 'Flores and Corvo' actually lie on the North American plate. Nowadays the Azores’ main industries are tourism, raising cattle for milk and meat, and fishing. | |
