Island chain northwest of Morocco (6)

I believe the answer is:

azores

(Other definitions for azores that I've seen before include "Group of islands in the middle of the north Atlantic" , "Atlantic islands belonging to Portugal" , "Three groups of North Atlantic volcanic islands" , "Atlantic island group" , "isolated set" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
