Mensaje de Monica | The Madeira Travelista

The Moinho de Água in São Jorge is the last working water mill on Madeira Island, with a history spanning over 300 years. Located in the Achadinha area, it was restored in 2000 and is powered by the waters of Levada do Rei. Locals still use it to grind wheat, corn, barley, and rye grown in the agricultural terraces of São Jorge. Here you can witness firsthand how water power was crucial for sustaining the island's population. It's a great spot to explore Madeira's traditional heritage and marvel at its historical and cultural significance.
