Airline and stopovers
TAP Portugal operates this route with one stopover. There are no direct flights between Madrid and the Azores. The stopover is typically efficient and well-organised. TAP is the main air connection to the islands from mainland Spain, so expect good service and coherent schedules.
Best time to visit
The Azores have a temperate climate year-round. Summer (June to September) is peak season with higher prices and more tourists. For savings, consider spring or autumn (April–May and September–October): pleasant weather and more reasonable fares. Winter is the cheapest option, though it brings more rain.
What to do when you arrive
You'll land at Ponta Delgada, the archipelago's main airport. The Azores are a nature destination: hiking volcanic peaks, natural pools, whale watching and crater lakes are must-dos. Each island has its own character: São Miguel is the largest and most touristy, while Terceira and Pico offer quieter experiences. Hire a car to explore freely.
