Rua do Salao 15, Gaula, 9100-072 Santa Cruz, Madeira

The Levada dos Tornos is approximately 5 kilometres

north of Casa Parsons, crossing the road from Gaula
towards Camacha and Santo Antonio da Serra.

Only recently completed in 1966, the Levada dos
Tornos is 106 km long and some 600 mtrs high, making it Madeira's most important Levada.

This picturesque Levada starts in the north of the island, initially flowing southwards

through a tunnel towards Funchal. Emerging above the city it then meanders slowly eastwards towards Camacha and Santa Cruz, passing through beautiful countryside and along spectacular

hill sides, always with stunning sea and coastal views.

Higher above the Tornos flows the Levada da Serra,
some 27km long and 800 mtrs high. It meanders
through Eucalyptus and Oak trees with hydrangea, gorse,
lilies and rhodendrons as your seasonal companions.
