Aktuell größerer Bauarbeiten im Bereich Levada Einstieg seixal inf. (Nach dem tunnel) Daher wird das wasser über ein damm in den hortela geleitete.
Currently major construction work in the area of Levada entry seixal inferiore (after the tunnel) Therefore, the water is diverted via a dam into the hortela.
