Top 10 Lighthouses in Azores, Portugal
The nine islands that make up the Azores are in fact the peaks of some of the world's tallest mountains, reaching from deep beneath the Atlantic. The once-uninhabited, volcanic archipelago now hosts thousands of tourists every year who flock to the islands for sun, sand and verdant mountain scenery. From the beaches of Praia da Vitoria to the bustling marina of Horta, to the bubbling volcanic ground "ovens" of Furnas, these islands offer unparalleled--and unusual--adventures to discover.

Stunning views most beautiful during sunrise. It is a very steep walk I recommend wearing sneakers and bring water.

We drove until we couldn't drive any farther north and found ourselves at a very picturesque point of Flores at a large concrete structure that is the lighthouse. The doors were open and the wind seem to push us in as we battled it from the car to the instantly calm atrium. We were inspecting some antique machinery when a strong and tall young sailor came rushing out asking how we got in. He seemed a little alarmed and then to himself said, 'well it's the end of the road it's only natural you would be curious.' Seeing we were harmless tourists he then proceeded to explain that the lighthouse was closed but offered a quick tour since we had come a long way. That turned into a comprehensive and very interesting explanation of the lighthouse, it's workings and the culture of the island itself. The sailor was super intelligent and insightful beyond his years and we greatly enjoyed the lighthouse and his hospitality. I believe it's worth the drive out just for the views but if you are lucky enough to meet a sailor on post I would recommend the tour and an open conversation which is much of what any tourist can ask for.
