About Floro

The commercial life of the region is usually based on fishing and shipbuilding. In addition, gas and oil extracted from the North Sea increase the mobility of the region. The air in Floro, located on the northwest coast of the country, is usually chilly year round. Although the temperate climate caused by the sea effect softens air, especially the winter months are quite cold.
