Valley of the Nuns
When pirates appeared offshore, the nuns of Funchal, together with their charges - children, the infirm etc, would make for this hidden valley where they could hide.  Today access is through a new 2.3km tunnel but there are still miles of twisting, precipitous road to negotiate both before and within the valley.
