Faja Grande
Portugal
The westernmost settlement in Europe, this modest Azorean hamlet on the western coast of Flores island sits directly at the water with mountain terrain close behind. Its Catholic parish is dedicated to São José, and the village holds several historic churches for its size. The surrounding landscape offers scenic viewpoints across the North Atlantic — the nearest landmass to the west is Newfoundland, Canada, making the ocean views here genuinely expansive.
