Levada Fajã Rodrigues closed for safety reasons
The Diario reports that a landslide yesterday at Levada Fajã Rodrigues, in São Vicente, has led the Institute of Forests and Nature Conservation to close this recommended walk.
According to Manuel Filipe, President of the Forestry Institute, ARM (the water company which manages the levada) have managed to clear the canal but the collapse effectively removed about 20 metres of the pathway in a dangerous area. “Therefore, for safety reasons, we have closed the route”, he explained, noting that Levada Fajã Rodrigues will only be reopened when all safety conditions have been met and after the walkway has been replaced.

What’s the betting some idiot ignores the warnings and tries walking the route anyway?
Nice walk normally, not to long!
