Ruined Watermill on Levada do Moinho

Highlight • Monument

This watermill has been expired for a long time, but it remains impressive. Especially since you can still examine the millstones and the equipment (in the basement)!

A wonderful hiking trail that is not quite as flat in places as other levada trails.

The Levada do Moinho is a Levada flowing in parts, as some sections have a steep slope. It runs through heathland and laurel primeval forests.
When wet, there are places that are as slippery as soft soap (terracotta-colored surfaces).
