Nuns Valley, Curral de Freiras, Madeira

            Nestled in the heart of Madeira Island, surrounded by tremendous mountains and owner of an unimaginable beauty, 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
