Journey to Eira do Serrado, home to one of the most unique and stunning vistas, establishing itself as a highly valued ‘green’ area in Madeira.

The trip to the Nuns Valley (Curral da Freiras) village will take about 20 minutes, during which visitors will bask in the rural scenery, forest undergrowth intertwined with areas inhabited by charming traditional Madeiran houses. The village’s isolation is evident, with residents largely depending on their agricultural produce. The locally grown chestnuts are delightful and a staple in daily cuisine.

Upon your return, take a halt at the striking fishing hamlet of Câmara de Lobos. This is where Winston Churchill painted his beautiful landscapes, and where you can taste the famous local concoction, Poncha.
