The Azores are volcanic, with crater lakes, hot springs and steep coastal cliffs shaping the terrain. Summer is the driest and warmest season, and the sea is warm enough for swimming from June to September. Portuguese is the main language, spoken with distinctive island accents and local words. Dairy farming and cattle-rearing shape the pastureland, so beef, butter and cheese are local staples.
