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 have no experience of other levada walks to compare with this one with but thoroughly enjoyed the day out. Start by catching a no 96 bus from Funchal to Estraito (2.75 euros one way, around 40 minutes). There is a signpost to show you where to begin close by. The walk then takes you along the narrow path next to the levada (irrigation channel) for 7 kms. It's all level and near the start you walk under grape vines and past small dwellings. Then the terrain winds around a large gorge for about 4 kms and the views at the end of this stage are stunning. In one or two places the path is too narrow but there is an alternative path marked by white posts for a few metres. It's a good idea to take a sandwich made of traditional Madeiran bread (very tasty) for your lunch. Near the end you have the option of climbing the steps to the viewpoint from the clifftop at Cabo Girao which is well worth doing. There is a bus back to Funchal from here as well.

This little Fishermans village belongs to metropolitan area of Funchal. It is located at a very picturesque bay with colourful boats surrounded by the rocks and houses. On the top there are numerous banana terraces. Nice place to visit if you’re nearby
