Caminhos de Santa Luzia revives old links between the inland parish and Pico's north coast. The walk begins at Miragaia and descends through a protected vineyard landscape, where vines and fig trees occupy small plots divided by dry-stone walls. Lanes can be narrow and uneven, paved with natural rock and stone slabs; across the basalt remain the deep wheel ruts made by ox carts carrying wine and other produce.
Approaching Lajido, wine cellars and summer houses appear among the vineyard enclosures, together with geological features associated with the coastal lava field. The route then begins to regain height. It passes the ruins of Forno dos Frades, recognisable by its stone chimney, and reaches the regional road before arriving at Santa Luzia church. The broad old roads, high walls and dirt sections show how rural movement adapted to a rough volcanic surface.
From the church the itinerary adds a final loop on lanes bordered by vegetation, including Azorean whitewood and heather, before returning to the same religious centre. Although the overall walk is linear between Miragaia and Santa Luzia, this last section gives the finish a circular character. This is primarily a cultural route, with interest in the pattern of the vineyards and in the traces left by labour, transport and settlement.
