Levada dos Piornais is considered an urban levadas and may be of little interest precisely because of its urban setting. However, it is a unique example of the masterly design of a 16th century levadas. The intricate structures at the end of the levadas cannot fail to impress, and the wanderer is left wondering how they were able to be built. The final section of the route in particular offers spectacular views of the Curral Valley and the Socorridos region.
