What to expect

  1. Miradouro Pico Dos Barcelos
    30m
    First stop at this hilltop viewpoint on the western edge of Funchal, at around 355 metres altitude. Wide views over the city, the coastline and the surrounding hills. A good place to get your bearings on the island before heading inland.
  2. Miradouro Eira do Serrado
    1h
    The road climbs into the mountain interior until reaching this viewpoint above the Valley of the Nuns. From here you look down into the horseshoe-shaped valley, surrounded by steep volcanic ridges. One of the most recognised views on the island.
  3. Curral das Freiras
    1h
    Descend into the village itself — a small, quiet community founded in the 16th century by nuns from Funchal's Santa Clara convent, who sought refuge here during pirate raids on the city. Time to walk around, have a coffee, and try a local chestnut speciality if you wish.
