Azenha da Columbeira
Very old watermill, but still working. This is a small house, built on a levada that take water directly to the mill. The levada has a gap of two or three meters, leaving the water through a nozzle-tube that carries water to the Caster. When the water comes out the mouthpiece, falls on the feathers of the caster, causing it to rotate.
