Description
Nestled in the heart of Madeira Island, surrounded by tremendous mountains is Curral das Freiras, also known as Nun´s Valley. As history recalls, Curral das Freiras was once previously used as a refuge for the nuns of the Convent of Santa Clara who fled Funchal and sought protection in this inaccessible valley from the invasion of French Lutheran Pirates. Hence the name “Nun´s Valley”. Taken above the clouds and looking down.
