A beautiful old windmill that was restored and provides the best view over the World Heritage Vineyards that are all around it. There is also an very nice old lady selling trinkets and essentials inside the windmill if you catch it open.

Very iconic windmill. We came from a 1hour trail from a bar located by a pool. very nice walk through the UNESCO vineyards. The way the rocks were placed are pretty amazing, given the fact that they can withstand the strong winds of Pico. Walking through the vineyards gives us a very surreal feeling. The whole trail stretches across 2km, but we choose to do 1km up till the windmill. Depending on the road condition, driving is possible but do take note of the rocks that were washed up.

Moinho do Frade offers the most extensive view on the Pico Vineyard Landscape. The view over Faial island isn't bad either :) Take a walk in the vineyard and refresh with a dive in the nearby Criação Velha natural swimming pool!

Definitely worth a visit even if you are not a wine buff.

Very good. It's beautiful and in really good shape. It is a piece of history very well maintained. Inside the mill there was a lady who grew in the city and was really sympathetic. She told us everything about the city and about growing there. Very nice experience
