The pedestrian tunnel in São Vicente on Madeira is located near the blue bridge and the chapel of Calhau in the Ribeira de São Vicente. It serves hikers as an underpass under the main road (VE1) and allows safe access to Levada trails as well as the São Vicente caves.

September 23, 2021,Parque Urbano de São Vicente – Caminho da Capelinha Runde von Seixal
