Flores is heaven on earth! Especially if your idea of heaven is a natural Eden, where waterfalls and lakes are hidden amongst green lush landscapes. These are some of the most beautiful lagoons on Flores Island.

One of the reasons why you should spend a good couple of days in Flores is to explore the many trails of the island. There is a series of beautiful trails in Flores and you can spend days hiking throughout the island. 

Flores is one of the most beautiful islands in the Azores. If we had to attribute a color to this island, it would be green, without any hesitation. Green is present not only in its grassland but also on the cliffs. 

There are many reasons why tourists are heading to the Azores, and no one can deny that one of them is the opportunity to go whale watching throughout the archipelago. Besides the whales, there are other cetaceous that can be viewed off the shore, such as several species of dolphins. 

We arrived at Corvo island without any big hopes about the celebrations of the Holy Spirit. We were in the middle of a pandemic, and the rumors were that again this year all public celebrations would be canceled throughout the archipelago. But, as we learned later, this was Corvo, and in Corvo things happen according to the Corvinos’ wish.

Let me guess: You are planning a visit to the Azores and you are including a quick one-day tour of the island of Corvo from the island of Flores. Did I guess it right? That’s because that plan is the plan of the majority of people who visit Corvo. It is not a bad plan, but If you can spare yourself an extra day, do it, in order to spend at least one night in Corvo.

A tres horas de Madrid encontramos el archipiélago de las Azores que pertenecen a Portugal, lo conforman nueve islas divididas en tres grupos y todas de origen volcánico. São Miguel es la más extensa y poblada.

Si queréis tener una experiencia espectacular y probar la gastronomía cocinada con el calor de la tierra de los volcanes, tenéis que viajar a las Islas Azores, concretamente a São Miguel  que es la mayor de las islas, y donde podemos volar con la nueva ruta de Iberia 

Me he quedado totalmente enamorada de Azores, y eso que sólo he visto São Miguel y sólo 4 noches. Recomiendo calcular mínimo 5-6 días en São Miguel. Y espero regresar pronto para poder visitar otras islas, que sin duda, merecerán la pena.
