Europe's warmest place in winter? That'd be Madeira.Â
Portugal's "Island of Eternal Spring" rarely drops under 64 degrees, even in the depths of winter. Meaning no dead season here, tourism is popping all year round!
You can still expect a shower or two, but that's what makes its cascading waterfalls extra cascade-y this time of year! Come in February and you'll make it just in time for the island's carnival festivities.Â
Terceira, this time of year, is tempting for a greater sense of solitude. It's further north in the Azores archipelago, meaning the Atlantic can bring rain, sunshine all in one afternoon. Still, it's worth it to witness its shocking shades of green.Â
So if Madeira is known as "The Hawaii of Europe", then the Azores are basically Ireland, but a little to the left.
Jack's take
Flights to the Portuguese archipelagos don't come around often, especially to Terceira Island. These are quite affordable, and as usual with TAP, you can take advantage of the stopover program to spend a few days on the mainland.
