Seixal, the largest parish of Porto Moniz municipality in terms of area, is a land with favorable natural conditions and resources, including a trout farm in Chão da Ribeira.

8Pico do Arieiro
Pico do Arieiro, with an altitude of 1818 meters, is the third highest peak on the island (and the second highest with pedestrian access). Fortunately, it can be reached by car.

Not far from Santo da Serra, on the northern slopes of the island, you will find a very popular starting point for 'levada' walks.
