Course
From the road junction of the ER-206 with the Levada dos Tornos against the direction of flow as far as the place where I turned back in 2014, back to just after the tunnel with the caverns, and from there on the levada that branches off to Pico de Gaula. On the road below the levada as far as the inflow of the Levada do Pico das Eiroses, following this as far as the ER-206, and on it to the starting point.
