The Berlengas archipelago is a group of small islands, 15 km off the Portuguese western coast, in the Atlantic Ocean.

Berlenga Grande is the biggest island of the archipelago but it's a very small piece of land, to be sure, a impressive block of granite.

Berlengas were included to the World Network of Biosphere Reserves of Unesco on 30 June 2011.
