White-washed
houses overlooking a ravine by the sea. Lakes of clear blue water at the
bottom of deep craters. The striking green of the landscape. A community
that still keeps up long-standing traditions from a bygone age. Corvo is
an enchanting spot, a strip of land set in the center of the ocean which
takes us to a world which time forgot, preserved by years of isolation.
A memorable experience wich you will never forget.
Island
of everlasting calm
A stroll
along the twon´s scant streets lined with colourful houses is all it
takes to become acquainted with Corvo. Visit the only church in the town
which has perserved its cherished 16th century Flemish image. Scale the
heigths of Monte Gordo to admire the lakes interspersed by islets at the
bottom of the Crater. Lap up the sea skylines and the view of the island
of Flores.
For those
who would like first-hand experience of how the islanders live, a two or
three-day stay- or even a week - is recommended to really soak up the
sincere warmth of its hospitality. Accompany the miller to his
white-sailed mills. Watch the fishing boats as they head out to the sea
under the hazy light of dawn. Experience the relaxed rhythm of the
agricultural work. And you will return calm in the knowledge that you
have shared in the in the simple life of a small community.
