Flores island is well known for its abundance of flowers, hence its Portuguese name of Flores.
Around 4000 people live on this remote piece of paradise. Landscapes of extreme natural beauty and lush vegetation make the island look like a garden in the middle of the ocean. Together with Corvo are part of the North American tectonic plate while the rest of the Azores islands sit on the European plate.
Unlike the other islands of the Azores, there are no recorded volcanic eruptions on the island and her calderas are generally considered to be extinct.
Flores along with the islands of Graciosa and Corvo are on UNESCO’s list of World Network of Biosphere Reserves.

Ola. You made an excellent film of Flores, I was there in 1993 and just came back from an second visit three weeks ago. And already anticipated and booked again for next year. In your film you show me that there's more to see, in the best promotion film of Flores. Thanks.

Radek. you should come to Wales and see the beautiful scenery, north and south you would love it. From the National coastal path in Pembrokeshire to the beautiful Snowdonia mountain in North Wales. Lovely video 👍

@Radek7001 Год назад

Thank you. You provoked me to watch movies about Wales.🙂 It is indeed a beautiful place. I hope to visit this area someday.

My father is from here and he shared this video saying I had to watch it! Thank you for showing the beauty of Flores!

@Radek7001 8 месяцев назад

I'm very pleased to know that. Thank you for writing about this. I would love to know what life was like on this island when your father lived there.

@@Radek7001 VERY different than it is now. He left almost 70 years ago and only returned for the first time two years ago. Everywhere changes in that span of time but he was in utter shock (in a good way) at HOW much the Azores had changed. Growing up he didn't have running water, indoor plumbing or electricity. Everyone including very young children worked the fields many many hours a day. In many ways aside from radios, it was an existence very unchanged from prior centuries. Only two doctors on the island and if you got sick you were more likely to get a priest since frequently there was little the doctors could do (if you even knew where they were and could walk several hours to get them). He remembers people dying from things that with access to modern medicine they wouldn't or would be far less likely to die from. He cried tears of happiness several times at how much easier life is there now and because he was so happy for the people. The only thing that made him sad now was to see how few fields are being farmed but that's to be expected with people no longer needing to continue substance farming.

@@softfurbear It's very valuable and interesting what you wrote. Your father could certainly tell many more very interesting facts from those times. I thought life must have been completely different then. Even now, after so many years, you can feel the wildness and isolation of this place from the rest of the world. Beautiful and untouched nature in many places. For us, travelers, that's why this place is so special and amazing, but for those who live there, it may not be easy. Great respect to your father and please tell him all the best. ❤️

@softfurbear 8 месяцев назад

@Radek7001 I agree. It's a way of life that even now feels so slow, wild and remote. Even now flights and ships can and do get cancelled due to bad weather even in summer. I can't imagine how truly different it was then. Hopefully having Corvo on the horizon made them feel just a little less alone. I'll be sure to convey your thoughts to my dad. And thank you again for sharing the video!

@Radek7001 Год назад

Thank you. This island is especially rich in flowers, which gives it its name. Hortencias start to bloom in June. We were in early May, so there weren't many of them yet. 🙂

Oh my gosh i think Flores Island from Indonesian 😂😂😂

@joserodrigues46 4 месяца назад

The Indonesian Flores was a Portuguese Colony until the 19th century when was sold to the Netherlands. The Portuguese named it Flores also as the Azorean Island. Wherever you go you always bump into something related to Portugal.😂

@stevannyandara5853 4 месяца назад

@@joserodrigues46 You are right ,when the Portuguese call it flores in Indonesia which means flower. There are areas in Flores that still adhere to Portuguese traditions, especially in the eastern part of Flores. I'm amazed because we in Flores still have our past from Portuguese colonialism

@@Radek7001 Mam pytanko ,czy najwieksza wyspa Ponta Delgada jest rownie warta uwagi ?Dziekuje .Stad mam loty bezposrednie

@Radek7001 Год назад

@@trepzgorzelany2753 Zdecydowanie. Sao Miguel ma najwięcej do zaoferowania, ale jest też najczęściej odwiedzaną przez turystów. Zwykle loty na Azory są właśnie na nią i z niej, gdyż jest tam główne lotnisko. Wielu turystów zaczyna, a zarazem kończy wizytę na Azorach w tym miejscu. Zalety innych, dalej położonych wysp są takie, że w wielu tak niesamowitych miejscach można znaleźć się zupełnie samemu, szczególnie poza najwyższym sezonem. Kolejny film, który planuję zrobić będzie właśnie o Sao Miguel. 🙂
