Levada Trail in Lombo do Urzal, Curral das Freiras

Highlight • Trail

At the end of the Nun's Valley it goes up the Estrada da Faja dos Cardos - park there at the end and off you go: unfortunately not a complete circular route but spectacular panoramas and shady levadas.

View of Eira do Serrado

Highlight • Viewpoint

Wonderful view of Eira do Serrado from Fajã dos Cardos. This spot is halfway though the Levada. Very much worth a break.

Fajã dos Cardos

Highlight • Settlement

Fajã dos Cardos is part of the parish of Curral das Freiras, in the southern part of the island of Madeira. It is a small place with little to offer other than the fact that it is the ideal starting point for trails 1.3 (towards Pico Ruivo) and 2 (towards Lombo do Urzal).
