Big fish

Big fish Fishing in the Azores Historically, the Azores are fishing islands. Visitors are particularly attracted to the Azores for their underwater fishing opportunities. © Bruno Perousse

A whaling ban was enforced in 1981, but the people of the Azores had been doing so since the 17th century. Today the archipelago is an oasis for big fish - a centre of sea life. With some luck you can spot blue and white swordfish, tuna fish and certain species of sharks.
