Here in the Nonnental the nuns used to hide to be safe from corsairs and pirates

Hiking

Curral das Freiras (German nun's stable, not nun's valley) - the place can be reached via a 2.4 km long tunnel (car) or you can descend the 400 meters from the Eira do Serrado on foot. The location, with the Pico Ruivo to the east, is unique.
