Itinerary description
From the Solar and church in Lombarda da Ponta do Sol we followed the millstream Levada do Moinho to its headwaters. This levada has been greatly improved by clearing brush and installing guide cables. Then we climbed the new steps up to the parallel Levada Nova. The dramatic section of this trail includes a waterfall that you walk behind. Spectacular! This was followed by 200 m tunnel. On the route back guide cables were missing or damaged, but the trail was fine with great views of the valley.
This has been our best levada walk.
