The route
Vereda da Ladeira takes you down to the pebble stone beach of Achadas da Cruz through the path once used by local farmers. Between the abandoned fields and dilapidated cowsheds, you will find endemic plants that make this area part of the Natura 2000 network. The path, although short, is very demanding and is only recommended for experienced hikers with appropriate footwear and walking poles.
The trail begins at the viewpoint of Pombais in Santa. The path is well marked and begins with panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean and Achadas da Cruz.
As you make your way down, any evidence of agriculture that is left fades until you are surrounded by the cliff side vegetation. Once strongly present, the abandonment of farming has given way to exotic plants that grow beside the endemic species painting the cliffs different shades of green.
