The Levada do Alecrim Trail leads you along an easily walkable levada path through the expansive landscape of Paul da Serra. Following the tranquil canal, you'll hike through lush greenery, past small streams, and enjoy frequent beautiful views of the plateau. A relaxing and varied section that perfectly captures the typical levada atmosphere of Madeira.
