Levada da Fajazinha

Madrei

Corrego da Nozelha N 32°45.330 W 16°48.980 ca. 210 m a.s.l.

Course

After the Madre in the Corrego da Nozelha, 2 pipes come down from the Levada da Fajazinha sup as an extra water feed (only when that water is not in use). After that, a somewhat exposed stretch along the gorge. Then a slightly steeper piece before it enters a small cutting; from here it holds more or less the same height as far as Lombinho, supplying the fields above Fajazinha on the way, with a reservoir above Sitio do Lombinho. The levada ends above the last houses of Sitio do Lombinho.
