Levada Walks

Way back in history people came up with this idea of digging levadas which would channel water from the North to the South of the Island. This would allow farmer fields and also just for local people who are growing their own fruit and vegetables in their gardens, to receive this water.

But the Levadas need regular maintenance so along with the channels of water there’s also paths alongside them not originally designed for hikers but instead for maintenance workers.

Nowadays locals, tourists, hikers are able to come and use these and wonderfully they’re completely free to access.
