The Levada used to have a number of watermills. A stairway leads to Levada Nova with an impressive waterfall

Shortly before you could admire the ruins of an old mill on the route. At the waterfall, the path climbs up steps. The levada used to be called "Grande Levada". It collects the water from the plateau and leads it down into the valley. If you follow the levada to the end of the path, you will not only pass impressive forest passages but also other waterfalls. The "murmur" of the water is meditative. Listen to the birds and enjoy the time. Attention after heavy rains the levada can overflow in some places. The path is then muddy and the red clay soil becomes soapy and slippery.

The PR7 hiking trail runs alongside this Lavada waterfall. The steps are quite dilapidated, and you have to be especially careful not to slip when going down.
