In the middle of the Atlantic, at an almost equal distance between America and Europe, this verdant island is visited by birds lost from its routes, coming from both continents. The island’s coastline and adjacent islets are important habitats for some species of seabirds among the most important in Europe, which travel to the Azores every year to nest or rest.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
