On Wednesday 11 November, from 14:00, Praça Marquês de Pombal on Flores hosts an afternoon for São Martinho, St Martin's Day, with roasted chestnuts, entertainment and time to mix with residents. It is a local autumn custom rather than a staged show. If you happen to be on Flores that day, drop by: it costs you an hour and gives a sense of island life off season.
The square is on Flores; the listing does not name the town, so ask locally. On an island this size a short drive or taxi reaches most villages.
Held in an open square. The listing says nothing about a rain plan, so check on the day if the weather turns.
