Curral dos Romeiros

A locality in the parish (freguesia) of Monte (‘hill’), crossed by the road that leads to Choupana (‘hut’). Above the Ponte do Curral, on the Ribeira de João Gomes (‘João Gomes’s stream’), there is a small but pretty waterfall, which can be reached by following the levada (irrigation channel) that runs beside the bridge.

Curral dos Romeiros (‘pilgrims’ fold’) is a locality much visited by Portuguese and foreigners alike. It lies at the bottom of a large valley, where visitors come away with pleasant impressions.
