The Serra da Gardunha is known for its spectacular Levadas, which are ancient irrigation systems carved into the hillsides. These structures play a crucial role in ensuring water supply throughout the year.
The northern region of the Serra da Gardunha is characterized by high altitudes and harsh climatic conditions, resulting in a dense forest cover. In contrast, the central region has more open spaces with less vegetation due to lower elevation and rainfall.
The Levadas in the Serra da Gardunha are constructed using traditional methods and materials found locally. They were originally built during the 16th century to transport water from the mountainside springs to the valleys below, making them vital for agriculture and human settlement.
