Levada do Moinho
ClosedLast checked October 26, 2026
A long levada in the far north west, from the Ribeira da Cruz on the ER 101 to Junqueira above Porto Moniz. IFCN gives 10.5 km, 3 h 30 and a medium grade, with the channel falling from 940 m to 504 m. It finishes well away from where it starts, so transport back has to be arranged.
