Lajes Des Flores is a Portuguese municipality in the western part of the Azores, laying on the north east coast of Portugal. It typically provides ferry routes to other coastal towns belonging to Portugal, with the shortest crossing lasting two hours and the longest lasting fifty hours. With a population of just over one thousand people, the island doesn’t lend itself to accommodating mass amounts of tourism. There are a few places to stay for a few nights; many budget hotels offer affordable prices for simplistic rooms, and for those willing to spend a bit more money there are apartments available for rent. Although the accommodation is plentiful, Lajes Des Flores has a lack of many amenities or major sights on offer – the primary form of entertainment is the natural landscapes that provide both stunning views and fulfilling walking trails. The island is so small that the vast majority of the places to stay will be within walking distance of the port. The weather is usually warm and pleasant, so even a stroll in the late evening can be enjoyable, especially in the summer. If walking isn’t a viable option, there are also taxis available to transport passengers to and from the port.
Much like the rest of the Azores, Vila da Praia is an oasis of glorious views, gorgeous weather and hours of relaxation. Head there in the winter and the island will be deserted, however, in the summer it transforms into an oasis of tourists enjoying the sun and sea. As expected from an island in such an ideal location, the beaches gracing the coastline are covered in beautiful golden sands laying adjacent to crystal blue waters. The perfect place to while away a few hours whilst gaining a sun kissed tan. Little activity occurs around Vila da Praia, instead the lifestyle revolves around the small port and the desire to lead a laid back and stress free life. After a few hours lounging around the beaches, try some sumptuous seafood at one of the fine restaurants.
The region is so small that it can be covered by foot.
