Levadas Under Construction
I do hate the word ‘Under Construction’ … but in this case it is different …
To everybody that is planning to do a Levada walk these following months, please be advised that the following main Levada passages will be closed for the pedestrians, due to labour to improve the safety and increasing the benefit of leisurely walk.
Pico do Gato - Pico Ruivo - Achada do Teixeira – each Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday during the entire period starting 24th of July 2006 until the end of December 2006.
Queimadas - Caldeirão Verde – each Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday during the entire period starting 24th of July 2006 until the end of October 2006
Boca da Corrida - Encumeada - each Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday during the entire period starting 24th of July 2006 until the end of February 2007
The following walk routes are likely to be affected by these temporary closures:
Pico do Gato – Pico Ruivo – Achada do Teixeira; Ribeiro Frio – Lamaceiros – Portela; Queimadas – CaldeirãoVerde; Achada do Teixeira – Ilha; Boca da Corrida – Encumeada; Pico Ruivo – Encumeada; Quebradas – Ribeiro Frio (Levada do Rei)
