Caminhos de Santa Luzia

We invite you to walk with us in the beautiful Lajido and Santa Luzia with talking about the island and its inhabitants with a stop on picnic in the nature park
DESCRIPTION:

This trail begins at Miraguaia (Santa Luzia) and it ends at the Church of Santa Luzia.
It begins on a descent to the sea on a path through a landscape of vineyards, part of UNESCO World Heritage, and goes as far as Lajido.
In Lajido a visit to the museum is worthwhile and there are some interesting geological formations to be seen in the area.
The path then begins to climb and goes through Forno dos Frades, another interesting place worth seeing. About 3km after beginning the climb we will come to the main regional road, which the trail then follows until we reach the church of Santa Luzia.
At the church we turn right and the trail will continue on beaten earth between woods of wood white (Picconia azorica), heather (Erica azorica) and incense (Pittosporum undulatum), among other plant species.
As you can see from the map, this second part of the route is circular and ends at the Church of Santa Luzia, which we passed earlier.
The trail goes through a Protected Landscape Area.

then we move to a delicious lunch with a tasting of red wine and cheese. After a picnic and a short break ahead of us top of our trail will be stop at Arcos do Cachorro, where we visit Wave Power Plant Cachorro, beautiful coast and old stone houses in this special area.
