Description

Embark on a Vespa tour from Funchal to Curral das Freiras, with stops at Eira do Serrado and Pico dos Barcelos. Explore the island’s impressive mountain and valley scenery. Start your tour with a stop at Pico dos Barcelos. Situated at around 355 meters, it offers panoramic views over Funchal and the Atlantic. On clear days, you can see the Desertas Islands in the distance. Head further into the mountains to reach Eira do Serrado at around 1,094 meters. The winding mountain roads are an adventure, especially on a Vespa, providing glimpses of the lush valleys below. The viewpoint itself is dramatic, with sweeping views over Curral das Freiras (Nun’s Valley) surrounded by towering, green peaks. The landscape here is rugged and striking, making it one of Madeira’s most memorable spots. After descending from Eira do Serrado, arrive at Curral das Freiras, a secluded village known for its quiet charm and rich history. Once a retreat for nuns escaping pirate attacks, it’s now a peaceful spot offering an authentic view of traditional Madeira life. Wander the village, sample local chestnut dishes like roasted chestnuts, chestnut soup, and chestnut cake, and enjoy the friendly, laid-back atmosphere. There’s also a small chapel, shops, and cafes where you can relax before heading back.
