Museu das Lajes das Flores
About
When in Flores (Azores), Museu das Lajes das Flores is the local business to seek out for the island's heritage. Its address is Urbanização Ângelo de Freitas Henriques in Lajes das Flores, on an island of the western Azores group. The museum occupies a civic building in Lajes das Flores, one of the island's main settlements.
As a museum, it holds collections tied to the story of Flores and the wider archipelago. A 4.3 out of 5 average from 7 reviews suggests the small but engaged audience it attracts. Santa Cruz das Flores lies nearby, and the island's other settlements include Fajã Grande, Fajãzinha and Caveira.
Doors open Monday to Friday from 08:30 to 16:30, so weekday mornings and early afternoons suit a visit. Five photographs accompany the listing, and the municipal website at http://www.cmlajesdasflores.pt/ belongs to the local authority that runs the museum.
Flores sits in the Azores, where summer is the driest and warmest season and the sea stays warm enough for swimming from June to September. Direct flights connect the archipelago with Lisbon, Porto and other European cities, and smaller aircraft link islands within a group. Whale-watching trips from several ports bring sightings of sperm whales, dolphins and Cory's shearwater. Pico, the highest mountain in Portugal, rises elsewhere in the Azores, where vineyards grow inside walls of volcanic stone.
