Course

From the Madre along the Ribeira do Seixal to the junction with the Rua do Til. Then above the newly built car parks for the theme park in Santana, as far as above the roundabout on the ER213.

Above the ER213 towards the north-east, protected in places a little above the road, then it crosses a field, passes an old Santana house and reaches the junction with the Estrada José Gonçalves Valente.

From here on along a path, joining the Levada da Armoreira ou do Pinheiro. From here they run together as far as the end. A little lower the levadas then meet the Rua Tenente Domingos Cardoso and follow it to a junction.

Behind the houses the levada ends and continues in pipes to where it joins the Levada do Cantinho.
