The improvement works for recommended walking routes, levadas, paths, and paths of tourist interest – Rabaçal Zone is in the process of being completed. The project is funded through PRODERAM and considerably increases the number of walking routes in the area.
However, on the 28th of November vandals destroyed some of the work carried out in the Levada da Rocha Vermelha area, where dozens of ground support guards were destroyed and the solid trusses stolen.
In view of this, the Institute of Forests and Nature Conservation, IP RAM regrets and repudiates these acts of vandalism, because they, in addition to causing damage, will cause delays in the completion of the work.
Access to Levada da Rocha Vermelha is via a pedestrian path which makes work difficult, as all materials have to be transported by hand or back!
