From the picturesque ports of Honfleur on France's "Côte Fleurie" (Flower Coast) to Porto, Lisbon and the sheltered beaches of the Canary Islands, the Atlantic Ocean is scattered with jewels dotted around the coasts of France, Spain and Portugal. Madeira, the Azores, the Bissagos Islands and the islands of Cape Verde off the coast of Africa open the doors to a world of peace and tranquillity, unspoiled nature and ancestral traditions. The sense of a complete change of scene here is total, the feeling of delight and enchantment utter and entire.
