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.
For years I hesitated to travel to my country because of the details involved and the price of the airfare. The moment I contacted Milica at Trip Designs, I told my friends and family the wait was over and I have found my travel agency. The entire team comes together to get their customers the best experience possible.
I am in the planning stages of the trip but the excitement of planning is so pleasant that I know that I am in good hands. My only question is "Why didn't I find them sooner?" But I'm grateful that I found them now!!! Looking forward to my big journey back home!!!
