@s.x.traveler: 📍Curral da Freiras, Madeira, Portugal 🇵🇹 The Valley of the Nuns (Curral da Freiras) might be one of the coolest places you can visit in all of Portugal. This village was built on the crater of an extinct volcano. 🌋 The village is named for an interesting bit of Madeiran history. Curral das Freiras, meaning nuns valley, used to be a hideaway for nuns in times long past. During 16th century pirate attacks on the island, nuns from Funchals’ monastery fled to this remote village in the valley. . . . . . . #europe_vacations #thegreatplanet #theglobewanderer #traveling #travel #travelbloger #travelgram #earthpix #earth_deluxe #voyaged #earth #visit #PlacesToVisit #shotoniphone #reels #natureaddict #takemoreadventures #stayadventurous #earthoutdoors #BeVisuallyInspired #TrandingReels #BeautifulDestinations #NeverStopExploring #madeira #madeiraisland #welovemadeira #madeiraisland #portugal #portugallovers #portugaltravel #portugal_lovers
