Flores Island of the Azores.
It has an area of 88 square miles (143 km2), a population of 3428 inhabitants, and, together with Corvo Island of the western archipelago, lies within the North American Plate. The nearby Monchique Islet is the westernmost point of Portugal.
It has been referred to as the Ilha Amarelo Torrado (‘Yellow/Auburn Island’) and due to the association with poet Raul Brandão. It is well known for its abundance of flowers, hence its Portuguese name of Flores.
