  The population is tiny, but isn't it amazing that people live there?

  

  There's an airport and town on a tiny island in the middle of the ocean.

  You ever wonder who these people are or why they still live there?

  Or if there's design or internet?

  Looks perfect for a few weeks break to me.

  But I don't think I would love to actualy live there unless I have a private jet that can take me quickly to London, Paris or Barcelona.

  I used to live in a small village (yep, not even a small town but a small village), you guys have no idea how boring it was after just a few months.

  Corvo has roughly 400 habitants. they pretty much know everyone and don't need to lock the doors... Plus, the Azores have gorgeous landscape and good weed.

  It's not far at all, right next to the Canaries and the Canaries feel like you never left continental Spain.

  It's like Madeira, I guess.

  I hate to say it, but the comment feels a bit like "really? do people live outside America?"

  • Madeira has a completely different feeling. Much more touristic. The Azores tries to stay "true"– ESKEMA
