Saarestiku toidud ja käsitöö on märkimisväärsed ja ainulaadsed. Vaadates fotosid ning pilte Assooridest ning lugedes materjale sellest saarestikust tekkis tahtmine nii minul kui ka minu perel kindlasti sinna reisida. 10 Kasutatud allikad: Tea laste- ja noorteentsüklopeedia 1. osa lk 66, Tea kirjastus 2007 Ene 1. osa lk 341 http://www.estravel.ee/index.php?lang=est&main_id=63,1421,1190,1196 http://www.azores.com/azores/azores.php http://www.azores.com/azores/azores.php?attribute=20 http://www.azores.com/azores/azores.php?attribute=3 http://www.azores.com/azores/azores.php?attribute=13 http://www.azores.com/azores/azores.php?attribute=6 http://www.azores.com/azores/azores.php?attribute=7 http://www.azores.com/azores/azores.php?attribute=8 http://www.azores.com/azores/azores.php?attribute=1 http://www.azores.com/azores/sao_miguel.php http://www.azores.com/azores/sao_miguel.php?attribute=9 http://www.azores.com/azores/santa_maria.php
Southwestern Europe, on the Iberian Peninsula. It is the westernmost country of mainland Europe, and is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the west and south and by Spain to the north and east. The Atlantic archipelagos of the Azores and Madeira are Portuguese territory as well. The country is named after its second largest city, Porto, whose Latin name was Portus Cale. SETTLEMENT The land within the borders of the current Portuguese Republic has been continuously settled since prehistoric times. In the 8th century most of the Iberian Peninsula was conquered by Moorish invaders professing Islam, who were later expelled by the Knights Templar. During
and north to south from northern Italy to Morocco. Surrounding the Mediterranean Sea, the hotspot's 2,085,292 km² also include parts of Spain, France, the Balkan states, Greece, Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Egypt, Libya, Tunisia and Algeria, as well as around five thousand islands scattered around the Mediterranean Sea. West of the mainland, the hotspot includes the Macaronesian Islands of the Canaries, Madeira, the Selvages (Selvagens), the Azores, and Cape Verde. The basin's location at the intersection of two major landmasses, Eurasia and Africa, has contributed to its high diversity and spectacular scenery. The region boasts mountains as high as 4,500 meters, peninsulas, and one of the largest archipelagos in the world. The climate of the Mediterranean Basin is dominated by cool, wet winters and hot, dry summers, and rainfall ranges from as little as 100 millimeters to as much as 3,000 millimeters.
in the world. The fear of this, with other sufficient reasons, which I saw clearly, led me to pray your highnesses before I went to discover these islands and Terra Firma, that you would leave them to me to govern in your royal name. It pleased you; it was a privilege and agreement, and under seal and oath, and you granted me the title of viceroy and admiral and governor general of all. And you fixed the boundary. a hundred leagues beyond the Azores and the Cape Verde Islands, by a line passing from pole to pole, and you gave me wide power over this and over all that I might further discover. The document states this very fully. The other most important matter, which calls aloud for redress. remains inexplicable to this moment. Seven years I was at your royal court, where all to whom this undertaking was mentioned, unanimously declared it to be a delusion. Now all, down to the very tailors, seek permission to make discoveries
mägede regioonis kuni 300mm. Pico mägi, Azoreses on kõige sademete rohkem koht Portugalis, seal sajab aastas keskmiselt 6250mm sademeid. Azorese saared asuvad kesk-Atlandi mäeaehelikus. Madeira saar on aga tekkinud kuumast täpist , sama moodi nagu Hawaii saared. Mõnel saarel on olnud isegi vulkaanilist tegevust, viimati esines seda 1957. Mõlemad eelpool nimetatud saared asuvad lähistroopilises kliimas. Nende saarte erinevus seisneb nende temperatuuride ja sademete hulgas. Lõuna Azores asub ookeanilises alas,portugali territoriaal vetes, millel on unikaalne troopikaline kliima, euroopa mõistes. Seda just Golfi hoovuse intensiivsuse tõttu selles alas. Vee temperatuur selles alas on üle 20 kraadi, seda isegi talve. Peamised kliimatekketegurid on geograafiline laius,, mis määrab saadava päikesekiirguse hulga ja mõjutab temperatuure; asend veekogude suhtes, mis määrab kas tegemist on merelise või mandrilise kliimaga. Portugali kliima on
