About Levada das Referta
It is an easy levada walk with about 6km long, which goes along agricultural fields where the main local agricultural crops predominate.
As we go along the walk, different types of fruit trees, legumes and vegetables might be observed. They are mostly planted for self-consumption by local farmers, who are very eager to share their agriculture experience with visitors.
This relaxing and pleasant walk is ideal for families and those who wish to do a more physically accessible levada walk.
Throughout the walk, it is possible to be dazzled by the beautiful landscapes, taking special notice of Penha d’Águia – a fantastic rock formation that reaches 580 meters height.
Closer to the end, you start seeing the local houses, decorated with colourful plants and many times, our visitors are even greeted by friendly locals.
At the end of the trip, we could not miss the famous local bar, where you will have the opportunity to try local drinks and food, such as the famous “Poncha”, made with Porto da Cruz ‘s sugar cane rum.
