1 to 11 show our group hiking along the wet path by the Levada do Caniçal, including #1, a tube bringing water down to the valley farms, and #5 and #6,
a recreation of a warning system that allowed the early inhabitants to get to the fort before the pirates arrived. They would light various fires on the Pico Facho
as soon as they saw the ships coming. The inhabitants then had time to flee. Today, the Festa dos Fachos de Machico takes place every summer.
