Curral das Freiras
Nestled in a volcanic crater, Curral das Freiras (Nuns Valley) is known for its breathtaking views, historic significance, and chestnut-based delicacies. A must-visit for nature lovers and history buffs alike.
Hidden deep within the mountains, Curral das Freiras offers visitors a tranquil escape with its striking views of towering peaks. Famous for its history, the valley was once a refuge for nuns fleeing pirate invasions in the 16th century. Today, it’s celebrated for its natural beauty, chestnut trees, and the Chestnut Festival held each November. Visitors can explore the Church of Nossa Senhora do Livramento and take in the spectacular vistas from the Eira do Serrado viewpoint.
