No, the Azores islands are part of Portugal. The island is an autonomous region located in the North Atlantic Ocean. This means that while the Azores has its own regional government and some degree of legislative power, it is still ultimately part of Portugal as a whole.

August in the Azores usually has a pleasant weather, with daytime temperatures range from 20 to 25 degrees Celsius, and evenings bring a cool, comfy feel. With lots of sunshine and long daylight hours, it’s the perfect setup for outdoor adventures.

It’s a good idea to have a light waterproof jacket with you, just in case the nights get a bit chilly, or a surprise rain shower comes your way.
