The "Nuns Valley" is a small village situated in the crater of an extinct volcano, which has kept its 16th-century Santa Clara Convent where the nuns used to hide from pirates who were attacking Funchal.

Our trip (with Lido Tours) included going to the top Pico de Arieiro so we could look down on the village, then onto the village itself where we enjoyed some chestnut bread and chestnut cake and had a sample of chestnut liqueur.. And we visited the chestnut museum! We didn't actually have time to eat anything in the restaurant itself, but did see people eating - you guessed it - roasted chestnuts! It's only a small place, but nice for a gentle wander - and don't miss the church, it's also pretty spectacular, especially given the size of the village. Our trip then went on to Camara de Lobos, another beauty spot where we thoroughly enjoyed a glass of poncha.

Popular spot. Good place for picking up buses, taxis or the great Green Train down to the coastal resort of Camara dos Lobos You will pay through the nose at the cafe - tea, coffee and custard tarts @ €15 would almost buy a meal for two with wine locally

We visited in with ter but on a lovely sunny day. From the top there are great views along g the coast. We decided to walk down - this was fine to do - slightly slippery in places and would be tricky on a wet day but perfect ok. There were great views of the coastline and waterfalls on the way down. At the bottom it was great to watch the rollers coming in from the Atlantic. We then took the cable car back up to the top for €3 each. This was a great place to visit with spectacular views even for Madeira. This was ideal as part of a walk around the Santana area and readily accessible by bus from Funchal.
