Dit is een van de betere wandelingen op Madeira. Het uiterste oostpunt van het eiland bestaat namelijk uit een lang uitgestrekt schiereiland dat Ponta de Sao Lourenco heet. In de wintermaanden is dit begroeid met mos maar in de zomer staat alles kurkdroog.

Here another and smaller water course takes you to the right, instead of through...

It is worth every footstep. Very exposed and quite vertiginous.  You can go all the way into the valley, where the levada is formed and return on the lower Levada do Moinho. It ends at a...
