Levada dos Piornais Through Banana Plantations
Highlight • Trail
For the first few kilometers the levada is covered with concrete and annoyingly clattering metal plates. Its course takes us through numerous banana plantations. Finally we reach the outskirts of the city, where the levada finally continues openly and we have to walk on the pleasantly wide boundary wall. This first section is still officially marked as a tourist walkway. However, she is already surprisingly exposed to this very quickly. Most of these exposed sections are well secured with railings. The most enjoyable part of the tour soon follows: The Levada crosses a vertical rock face, for which several tunnels and bridges were created. In the tunnels and also along the rock face you often have to bend down or move to the other side of the levada.
Further into the valley there are increasingly exposed areas where there are no longer any railings. Since the levada wall is still pleasantly wide, passing it is not difficult for those without heights and is associated with a pleasant adrenaline rush.
