Levada do Curral de Castelege is a Levada on the island of Madeira, it connects Curral das Freiras to Funchal and goes past an abandoned village called Fajã do Poio, this Levada is the only access to the village.

The Levada was made to carry water from Curral das Freiras to irregate the land in Santo António (Funchal), Santa Quitéria, Funchal and São Martinho (Funchal)

It is around 10 km long and takes 4 to 5 hours to walk. It is almost as dangerous as beautiful.
