Miradouro da Fajã de Lopo Vaz
About
Miradouro da Fajã de Lopo Vaz, on Flores (Azores), sits in Lajes das Flores and draws a 4.9 out of 5 average from 37 reviews. First-time visitors should expect a coastal viewpoint reached by road, with the fajã below and the Atlantic stretching out beyond.
The 4.9 rating from 37 reviews reflects how highly those who make the trip regard the outlook. Lajes das Flores is one of the main settlements on the island, and Santa Cruz das Flores lies further north, so the viewpoint fits naturally into a circuit of the western coast. Fajã Grande, Fajãzinha and Caveira are among the other places along the same stretch.
The viewpoint is in Lajes das Flores, on the western side of Flores, with the island's small road network linking the coastal villages.
Direct flights from Lisbon, Porto and other European cities reach the Azores, and smaller aircraft connect islands within the group, so reaching Flores takes some planning. Summer is the driest and warmest season, and the sea is warm enough for swimming from June to September. Island cooking is built around fresh seafood, local cheeses and volcanic-soil wines, which suits a slow evening after a day on the coast.
