Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] João Afonso das Grotas Fundas

More or less, Grotas Fundas, or a little bit more inland; but it is difficult terrain, and undeveloped, so few people lived beyond the actual neighbourhood. It is all hilly area and that's where they would go work their small parcels of land or the larger ones owned by the wealthy landowners.

Yes that would be the same trail. I was afraid of that, notice the red warning at top, the trail is now closed. It seems heavy rains caused some areas to be overrun with mudslides, so the authorities closed it down until future notice. I was told you can still take the trail by a walkaround,
