Azores Island Paths: Hiking Across Portugal's Atlantic Archipelago

By Praise D. Debby

Azores Island Paths: Hiking Across Portugal's Atlantic Archipelago is a vivid first-person journey across nine volcanic islands rising from the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Blending immersive narrative, history, and reflection, the book carries readers step by step through the landscapes, villages, and horizons of Portugal's most remote region.
From the steaming fumaroles of S o Miguel to the festival-filled squares of Terceira, from Pico's towering volcanic cone to the waterfalls of Flores and the golden sands of Santa Maria, the author traces each island not only by trail but by spirit. Along the way, encounters with farmers, fishermen, and families reveal lives shaped by both hardship and generosity of the sea.
More than a hiking chronicle, this book is a meditation on scale, solitude, and belonging. Each island speaks a lesson-of patience, reverence, endurance, humility-and together they form a chorus that lingers long after the final page.
For travelers, dreamers, and walkers alike, Azores Island Paths is both guide and companion: a reminder that every horizon is an invitation, and that even on the smallest islands, the world expands beyond measure.
