The parish contains the localities Fajã do Penedo, Falca de Baixo, Falca de Cima, Santa Quitéira, Sant’Ana and São Cristivão.

The civil parish is crossed by the Levada da Achada Grande, Levada Grande, Levada das Faias, Levada da Achada, Levada dos Alves and Levada do Pastel, as well as the Levada da Achada (or Levada do Serrão), all of which have their origin in the Ribeira dos Moinhos.
