A locality (sítio) in the uplands of the parish (freguesia) of São Vicente (‘St Vincent’), where the Levada do Monte Medonho (‘fearsome hill’) begins. Since 1908 this levada (irrigation channel) has irrigated the parishes of Ribeira Brava (‘wild river’) and Tábua; before that it watered the land of the parish of São Vicente.

Chronology
  • The Monte Medonho levada was diverted to irrigate Ribeira Brava and Tábua instead of São Vicente.
