"A peaceful kingdom of picturesque Iberian charm and stunning green filled with vines carved by a history of dramatic volcanic eruptions."

Bloomberg stated that "as Iceland, the Azores offer beautiful landscapes that require no photo filtering". The agency also said that SATA, the carrier to the Azores, will expand its network of flights to major European cities in 2017.
