Dramatic volcanic spire above Curral das Freiras offering sweeping views into the steep ‘Nun’s Valley’, sea-of-clouds opportunities, and jagged ridgelines that catch warm light. Reachable via short steep walk from the local road; limited roadside parking near the hamlet—arrive at sunrise or late afternoon for best light and calmer winds. Expect rapidly changing weather; mornings often bring low cloud layers that add mood. No entry fees; respect local trails and private land.
