You Won’t Believe This Is Portugal… ๐ต๐น | Madeira Island Drive (4K)
Deep in the center of Madeira Island lies a place that feels like it belongs in a fantasy movie: Curral das Freiras (The Valley of the Nuns).
In this 4K driving tour, we navigate the winding mountain roads and narrow tunnels that lead into this massive natural “cauldron.” Surrounded by near-vertical volcanic peaks, this village was once a sanctuary for nuns fleeing pirates in the 1500s. Today, it offers some of the most breathtaking views in all of Portugal.
