O Zimbreiro

About

O Zimbreiro in Pico stands at Caminho do Cruzeiro 83, Ponta da Ilha, 9930-251 Piedade, Portugal, a parish on the island's eastern shore. The address places it near the coast at Ponta da Ilha, away from the main towns of Madalena and São Roque do Pico.

The venue keeps its own website at http://www.zimbreiro.com/, and its reputation rests on a 5 out of 5 average drawn from 114 reviews. Lajes do Pico, Criação Velha and Pico Mountain lie within the island's network of roads, so the setting sits among Pico's established settlements.

First-time visitors coming from Madalena or São Roque do Pico should plan the drive towards Piedade, since the eastern tip is reached by road rather than on foot from the ferry ports.

Pico's waters draw sperm whales, dolphins and seabirds such as Cory's shearwater on whale-watching trips from several ports. The islands are served by direct flights from Lisbon, Porto and other European cities, and smaller aircraft link islands within a group. Atlantic weather systems bring showers and wind quickly at any time of year. Limpets, tuna, grilled fish and caldeirada fish stews are common, and most islands make their own cheese.
