For my first walk, I took a taxi to Ribeiro Frio (I managed to miss the bus), which is a small place in the mountains. Not really a village, just some scattered houses, but there is a restaurant and a salmon farm, and it is a popular place to stop by for tourists. From Ribeiro Frio there is a short walk (1.5 km) to Balcões from where there are amazing views. I started with going up there and then back to Ribeiro Frio to cross the road and follow the Levada do Furado to Portela, another small settlement.
