this is a very small island that's part of bigger island called Sao Miguel in the Azores which is part of Portugal.

Azores, Portugal: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azores

This island is called Ilhéu da Villa, which is part of the parish called Villa Franca do Capo.

Here it is on Google Maps.

I'm from São Miguel, the "Ilheu" in Vila Franca do Campo (small 'city' in the south of the island) is a great place to go diving or just stay there one day to relax and take a swim and a strong tan in the Summer.

And how do you get there? Is there an airport? Is it expensive?
