Miradouro da Caveira
The Miradouro da Caveira is a viewpoint on Flores Island, in the Azores archipelago, whose name derives from an intriguing legend. According to the legend, a shipwrecked man named Demétrio, who lived on the island for several years, was a disbeliever and considered a heretic. After his death, a shining skull began to appear at the location of the current viewpoint. Local inhabitants believed this was Demétrio’s soul, unable to find peace due to his heretical views. To help his soul, they began to celebrate masses in his name until the apparition ceased. Thus, the viewpoint became known as "Miradouro da Caveira" (Skull Viewpoint).

An elevated area with a view over the valley of Lajes das Flores. You can observe the village of Lajes, the surrounding green mountains, pasture lands, and in the background, you can see the dike known as Rocha dos Frades.
