Tips
The path along the rosemary levada is easy to walk. It leads through a tunnel made of heather bushes, covered in lichen, mystical.

The Levada do Alecrim has a staircase-lined garbage that is often photographed in guides or guidebooks. Since the trail is often "in the fog," the rays of light in the drops and wetted cobwebs on the softwoods along the roadside are broken and mirrored: a special setting!

Beautiful hike along a really wide levada that also carries a lot of water. Total length: 3 km, ends at a beautiful waterfall.
