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.
