From the Madeira World / Places
Curral das Freiras
A mountain-ringed village sits deep in Madeira’s central valley. Descend into Curral das Freiras to experience the valley at village scale, not just from above.
Why go
Come down into the valley after seeing it from above if you want to understand its scale from both perspectives. The enclosing ridges make the village feel far removed from the coast, even though it is within the main island’s interior road network.
What to look for
Village enclosed by high ridges
Useful to know
The village is below Eira do Serrado; treat the two as different viewpoints of the same valley.
