Elias Snack Bar
Fast food restaurant
👍👍 Our day of visiting scenic viewpoints was a flop, as the clouds and pouring rain began. There is postive in every negative situation, as we stumbled upon this snack bar seeking shelter from the rain and decided we would stop for lunch.
It ended up being the perfect choice! It's a small place and was...

Miradouro da Vista dos Barcos
Tourist attraction
👍👍 It is such a lovely view of Farol do Arnel lighthouse! There is a parking for several cars (free) and you just climb a few steps and there it is! Have in mind that the place is very, very windy.

Reserva Florestal de Recreio do Viveiro do Nordeste
National reserve
😠 Really poor animals, small cages, no food even though next to them would be loads of good Gras. Birds dont even have something to hide, you can see that they are going crazy. We actually saw a black bird caught in a tiny cage, running forth and back wildly. This is really sad :(

Reserva Florestal de Recreio da Cancela do Cinzeiro
National reserve
👍👍 My little brother cried when we were here because “someone worked so hard on this park and no one is here to appreciate it!”
This is an amazing spot and it was nearly empty. There was a nice little family of 3 with their dog playing at the play set and cooking something on the grills.
Wish we woul...

The Lince Nordeste
Hotel
👍👍 Nice hotel. The view is really amazing. The room is nice with very good beds. The room is not very quiet, we could hear our neighbours well. The food in the restaurant is also fine. Most staff members are very friendly and good, some miss the finishing touch. I missed a nice outdoor space and wind s...

Pico Bartolomeu Viewpoint
Scenic spot
👍👍 Achingly beautiful vantage point for the north east corner of the island. Some may find it a bit of a challenging drive ( there’s a couple of steep inclines where you basically just “give ‘er” and hope for the best) and if it’s all overcast then forget it. But if it’s a clear day, you can see for mi...

Cascata da Ponta do Arnel
Tourist attraction
👍👍 it's really worth visiting, I advise you not to go down in a car, especially cars with low power, there is an 80% chance of not being able to go back up as the slope is extremely steep! going on foot and with time the adrenaline is even greater!

Parque de Campismo de Nordeste, Verissimo Costa
Campground
👍👍 Lovely camping in the middle of beautiful green hills. The owner is very nice and welcoming and the atmosphere is quiet and chill. If you don't like touristy, crowdy areas this is a great spot. Power sockets are only in the bathroom so an extra phone charger is handy. Or you can just disconnect and...

Centro Ambiental do Priolo
Natural history museum
👍👍 Cute little center to learn about Priolo! Very sweet people working there. They also do birding tours. Unfortunately we didn’t get to see a Priolo as it was really windy in the mountains. But I defiantly want to come back and do a tour again in the future :)

Aldeia do Priolo
Hotel
👍👍 This accommodation is one of the best I have ever been to, it’s so good that I had to go back, and I’m already planning another visit. If you are in the Azores, I highly recommend it, Nordeste is also a great starting point to explore the island, as a lot of the sights and hiking trails are nearby....

Restaurante Tronqueira
Restaurant
👍👍 I'm staying in Nordeste for two weeks and have been trying local cuisine as much as possible. After a long day of hiking around taking photos, I was starving.
I thought that I'd have to wait for "normal" dinner hours, but Restaurante Tronqueira was open.
I was greeted with smiles. The owner even ask...

Café 7Arcos
Cafe
👍👍 The woman who runs this place is the most hard-working person. She is the heart and soul. The pizza, coffee and tarts (nata) made by her are so very good.

Primavera Snack-Bar Pizzaria
Restaurant
👍 Great little snack bar. Our group of 4 had fish of the day - tuna which was great. Double cheeseburger which was great. Fried fish very good and lightly battered, and the steak and eggs with fries which was good but a little overcooked. Desserts looked great so we got some to go, but didn't taste as...
