Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Valley of the Nuns, Caminho da Padaria, Curral das Freiras, Camara De Lobos, Madeira 9030-314 Portugal
Nun´s Valley, otherwise known as Curral Das Freiras, is one of the most rural settlements on the island.
"Curral" was known for its extensive pasture-lands, used for grazing cattle, sheep and goats.
The name was subsequently altered to "Curral das Freiras" when these lands became the property of the nuns of the Convent of Santa Clara
(between 1492 and 1497).
Take a ride with me, Jeff "The Boss", as we go and explore this old village and its secret stories of pirates and criminals!
We´ll go down into the village and taste the local chestnut cakes and cookies and have a sip of the local "ginja" the cherry liquor.
There's hidden caves where people use to live hundreds of years ago, viewpoints from inside the valley
and even rock pools where the locals go swimming in the summer time
(we can go swimming too if its warm enough)
Duration: 3 hours
