Santa Cruz das Flores with Igreja Matriz da Conceição and Porto das Poças |
View in NE direction. Porto das Poças is one of three small harbours of the island capital. Access to the sea is generally difficult, as the town has been built on a lava delta eroded by the sea, resulting in steep cliffs on all sides. Therefore, the main harbour of the island is located in Lajes das Flores. The island of Corvo can be seen behind the church Nossa Senhora da Conceição, at a distance of 25 km in N direction.
