La Base Aérea de Lajes en Azores: historia y relevancia estratégica en el Atlántico La Base Aérea de Lajes, situada en la isla Terceira de las Azores (Portugal), ha sido durante más de 80 años un punto estratégico para las fuerzas estadounidenses y británicas. Su importancia se remonta a la Segunda Guerra Mundial, cuando el Reino Unido, mediante presiones diplomáticas, consiguió que Portugal permitiera a los Aliados establecer operaciones en el archipiélago, a pesar de la neutralidad oficial de Salazar. La base sirvió para proteger los convoyes atlánticos de los submarinos alemanes y facilitó el tránsito y reabastecimiento de aeronaves. Tras la guerra, Estados Unidos consolidó su presencia gracias al Acuerdo de Lisboa de 1951 y al marco de cooperación establecido con Portugal, que sigue vigente por su relación especial con el Reino Unido, heredera del Tratado de Windsor de 1386. Hoy, la base continúa siendo vital para operaciones transatlánticas y conflictos contemporáneos, como la guerra entre EE. UU. e Israel contra Irán, actuando como punto de apoyo logístico y estratégico. La historia de Lajes refleja tanto la geopolítica de la Guerra Fría como la vigencia de alianzas diplomáticas centenarias, demostrando cómo la ubicación geográfica puede convertir un territorio aislado en un 'portaviones natural' con relevancia global.

I’m in the middle of reading Diana Marcum’s book The Tenth Island - a semi-journalistic account of the Azores and the Azorean diaspora — and really sad to learn that she died a few years ago. What an interesting writer and what a sad loss. #azores #travelwriting #booksky

The viewer looks down from an elevated vantage point (in this case, a bar with a terrace facing west) onto a bay and the sky shortly before sunset. The sun is behind a narrow band of clouds, bathing the sky and the ocean in enchanting colours ranging from yellow to purple. Above the band of clouds, you can see additional small clouds that are also illuminated in various shades. Slightly above the partially obscured sun, you can see the silhouette of a bat. It appears quite large because it is flying not far from the viewer.

Longingly awaiting summer scenes like that, again: sunset in Achadinha with a flying bat.

The Gastronomy of the Azores | www.visitportugal.com Amongst desserts, the pineapple has pride of place with its bittersweet taste and very pleasant aroma, and the sweets, of course. Sweet bread, Santa Maria cavacas (sugar-coated biscuits), Vila Franca ...

When visiting #Graciosa Island in the #Azores, don't miss the delicious #queijadas da Graciosa, made from a century-old recipe. The local #pastries also include cavacas, pastéis de arroz, and encharcadas de ovos. The sweetness of these memories will last forever.

The image shows a rocky outcrop about 30-40 metres high jutting out into the ocean, on top of which stands a red and white striped beacon. Towards the viewer, two caves can be seen in the volcanic rock, their shape reminiscent of gigantic Gothic windows. They are estimated to be 15 metres high. A wave about 4 metres high is breaking on the open blue sea. The area near the cliff is covered in white foam. The sun is shining brightly, but parts of the rocky outcrop are already in shadow.

The viewer stands at the bottom of a narrow gorge and looks towards a rock face. This is covered with Pittosporum undulatum trees (sweet pittosporum), which make use of every natural crevice. In the foreground is a split boulder from which a tree grows. Or did the tree split the boulder?

The viewer stands at the end of the Caminho Rural da Ribeirinha in Achadinha, looking out from this gap in the cliffs towards the Atlantic Ocean in a north-westerly direction. A small section of the rugged, rocky but nevertheless vegetated cliffs further west, including Ponta da Ajuda, can be seen. The sky above the sea is blue, while a few white clouds float above the island. The sea shows only shallow waves.
