Western Islands
CORVO: The smallest island, Corvo, has only one village and its few hundred inhabitants are all related to one another. Nobody ever locks their front door and there is no jail or courthouse. Corvo has the living traditions of a pastoral and fishing community.
FLORES: Named after its profusion of flowers. It is often regarded as the prettiest of the islands, with its rugged terrain, flowers growing in the deep canyons, and waterfalls casting hues of blue and green as they splash down into the sea. The island is ideal for watersports. The administrative and commercial centre of Flores is the coastal village of Santa Cruz.
