Casa de Abrigo do Poiso

Located in the middle of the mountains, this is an island landmark. So, whether you’re up there to watch the sunrise over Pico do Areeiro or coming down after sunset, this is a good place to warm yourself up; after all, it can get a bit chilly up there. Poncha is served in the bar and in the restaurant. It’s made as you wait and is always nicely chilled. If you’re there in the evening, why not stay for dinner and try the canjinha na caneca (chicken broth in a mug), sopas de trigo (wheat soups), the caldo verde (cabbage soup) served with homemade bread or the açorda?
