Information about closed walking routes and levadas

Before you go on a hike to the mountains or to the levada, I definitely recommend to check if the route is not closed.

Aplikace Taxiin

You can order a taxi in this app and it’s great that you can see the price in advance. Just select where you want to go from and you will see the price range how much it will cost and they say that the price should not exceed this price. I haven’t personally tried it yet, but the app looks good. If anyone has experience, I’ll be happy for your comments.
