"One-way and located in the peculiar parish of Caniçal, the Caniçal levada is a route that provides walkers with a peaceful and serene walk, with a privileged view of Caniçal, always accompanied by the sound of the watercourse in the background.
Approximately 4 km long, the Caniçal Levada can be started at two different points: on the ER 214, near the exit of the emblematic Caniçal tunnel, or on the ER 109, near the Caniçal cemetery.
Due to its short length and the serenity of the route, the Caniçal Levada is a route where walkers usually consider the outward and return journey, starting at the ER 214 – Caniçal Tunnel.
In order to irrigate the agricultural side of the parish of Caniçal, the flow of the levada goes towards Ponta de São Lourenço, always in the open air and normally always active.
For those who enjoy enjoying the deep landscapes and visual contact with the territorial universe of the localities, Levada do Caniçal provides this moment of contemplation, as it has a privileged angle over the entire town and also over the entire Madeira Free Trade Zone, a financial platform for economic development, exclusive in Portugal, with its own tax benefits system, which has contributed to Madeira being a reference in Europe for attracting investment and capital, mainly foreign.
The town of Caniçal, which has been granted status since 1994, is an excellent fishing town on the island of Madeira and its connection to the sea is assumed at all levels, as Caniçal is where the main shipowners are located and also the main port for loading and unloading on the island of Madeira."
