Tips

Hiking

The last section to the viewpoint was very steep with a lot of rubble - so it wasn't easy to descend.

Hiking

The first half of the tour is always accompanied by the sound of the wind turbines 🥴. But the old path along the Levada rewards you with 4 tunnels! Unfortunately, the climb after that is very steep and almost impenetrable in the upper part because everything is overgrown with gorse!

The last section to the viewpoint is heavily overgrown with thistle-like weeds. Sturdy clothing required.
