About

In Porto Santo, Nico's bolo do caco is a bakery at 9400-162 Vila Baleira, Portugal.

The venue is known for its bolo do caco, the flatbread that gives the business its name. It sits in Vila Baleira, the island's main town, with Vila Balaia, Porto Santo Town, Calheta and Ponta da Calheta among the nearby places. First-time visitors can expect a straightforward bakery stop, with the 3.6 out of 5 average across 68 reviews reflecting a modest but steady following.

Island cooking is built around fresh seafood, local cheeses and volcanic-soil wines, and a bakery fits naturally into that daily routine. Summer is the driest and warmest season, and the sea is warm enough for swimming from June to September.

Portuguese is the main language, spoken with distinctive island accents and local words. The islands lie in the path of Atlantic weather systems, so showers and wind can arrive quickly at any time of year, which is worth packing for. The 3.6 rating from 68 reviews gives a fair picture of what to expect.
