Hello All,
I'm hoping to spend a month on Flores and Corvo next summer, and I was wondering if there's a way of getting from Ponta Delgada to Flores by boat; I like to avoid planes whenever I can.
Muito obrigado
I'm sorry, but there are no regular boat service to Flores or Corvo islands. Only between both. You really will have to take the plane, either to Flores or Corvo. To Flores a bigger aircraft is operated (about 60 seats), if you are afraid of smaller ones, like the one that goes to Corvo (about 15-20 seats maybe). Information on www.sata.pt
Dá uma olhadelas nas minhas páginas sobre estas ilhas.

This is the largest lavic tunnel of the Azores, and perhaps the only one in the world inside a town: more than 1km length and 13m width.
To visit this regional monument, you need to contact the Ecologic Association "Amigos dos Açores".
Please visit website or send an email asking for more information.
Entrance fee: 2.5 EUR
Location: Rua do Carvão de Cima.
Entrance: Near Fábrica de Tabaco Micaelense.
In the Azores one can find about 225 volcanic caves!
The construction of this monument started in the 15th century, but it took more than two centuries to finish, where, despite the many changes made to the initial structure over the time, its original precious gilded woodcarvings, among which a richly ornamented high altar, can still be seen. Among other treasures, a beautiful statue of the Virgin Mary of the Pains, several images and reliquaries from the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries, the painting Feast of Pentecost by the Portuguese artist Pedro Alexandrino de Carvalho, beautiful ornate windows as well as, in the sacristy, some touching votive offerings from sailors can be admired.
Ermida da Mãe de Deus (Chapel of Mother of God) is located on the top of the hill, providing a beautiful view of the city. The original church that stood here was in 1915 demolished as they were afraid it could serve as a target for German submarines during the World War I.
Reconstruction of the church started in 1925. Inside of the cornerstone was placed a glass bottle containing the sermon given by Vicar Herculano Augusto de Medeiros who officiated the rebuildong ceremony on March 25, 1925. The work was slow and it wasn't completed until 1942. Because of the high elevation and views of the ocean and the city, the church has been often used as a military lookout and was occupied by Portuguese soldiers during the World War II. It was finally completed in early 1947.
