Good night, everyone!
This small and charming island is part of the archipelago of Azores and it's such a tiny piece of terrain that it's classified as an Islet. It's called the Islet of Topo.
This is my entry for the Deranged Photography Contest - Travel, hosted by @derangedvisions.
This tiny Islet can be best appreciated from the shores of the Island of São Jorge, from an viewpoint with the same name: Miradouro do Topo (in English: Viewpoint of Topo).
From there, you can see the whole Islet and take some pretty cool photos, specially on a clear and sunny day.
If you bring your swimming suit and the waters are calm enough, you can easily swim until the Islet and spend a few hours relaxing at the sun, away from the other humans. 😊
The water is so crystal clear you can even see the rocks and some fish below...
Believe it or not, there is a bit of vegetation in the Islet and, during the Summer, the local farmers take their cows on a swimming excursion to the Islet so that they can roam in peace for the afternoon. Before dinner, they lead their cows through the waters again... safely back to shore. 😎
If you are ever in the Islands of Azores, don't forget to take a small trip to this destination. It's well worth it, even if you stay there only for a few minutes.
