Fajã is the largest agricultural area of the island. In the upper parts, insensible precipitation out of stagnating clouds allows decent dry land farming. The lower parts are irrigated from a tunnel gallery built in the 1980s. Between Cachaço e Fajã de Baixo field-paths are used, accompanied by rural buildings and dragon trees. Later one continues over the small road descending to the village of Queimadas with its hall-church built in 1745 and its strange simple clock tower. One may continue over track 109 to reach Vila da Rª Brava. Starting point is the water point at the village health post of Cachaço,
where "Água do Torno OP-BH 1972" is written. [CACHAC] (706m). After a
