Prazeres Educational Farm

Highlight • Structure

At Christmas time, the church and the surrounding area are illuminated at night. The “XS Café” across the street is also highly recommended.

Levada Stepping Stones

Highlight • Bridge

Clearly they’ve thought this out. Crossing is quite easy but do be aware that the stepping stones can be wet so still take care.

The levada keeper's cottage. Freshly renovated. Unfortunately, there is rarely one at home.
