Flores Island

Flores Island is an island of the Western group (Grupo Ocidental) of the Azores. It has an area of 143 km², a population of approximately 3907 inhabitants, and, together with Corvo Island of the western archipelago, lies within the North American Plate. It has the westernmont point of Portugal in Monchique Islet and, if considered part of Europe (though it sits on the North American Plate), it is the westernmost point of the continent as well. It has been referred to as the Ilha Amarelo Torrado (English: Yellow/Auburn Island) by marketing and due to the association with poet Raul Brandão, but it is well known for its abundance of flowers, hence its Portuguese name of Flores.

Stress-free vacation!

What a relief it was to have Susan ready to handle problems when there was a threat of an airline strike while I was on vacation. One of the many benefits of a great travel agent! I appreciated Susan’s research, status updates and responsive communication. I knew that if my flight was affected by a strike that she would have my back, which enabled me to have a great, stress-free vacation. Always the goal!
