Embark on a Vespa tour from Funchal to Curral das Freiras, with stops at Eira do Serrado and Pico dos Barcelos. Explore the island’s impressive mountain and valley scenery.
Start your tour with a stop at Pico dos Barcelos. Situated at around 355 metres, it offers panoramic views over Funchal and the Atlantic. On clear days, you can see the Desertas Islands in the distance.
Head further into the mountains to reach Eira do Serrado at around 1,094 metres. The winding mountain roads are an adventure, especially on a Vespa, providing glimpses of the lush valleys below.
The viewpoint itself is dramatic, with sweeping views over Curral das Freiras (Nun’s Valley) surrounded by towering, green peaks. The landscape here is rugged and striking, making it one of Madeira’s most memorable spots.
Soon, you roll into Câmara de Lobos, a charming fishing village that once captured Winston Churchill’s imagination. Park by the harbour, where colourful boats bob gently in the Atlantic swell. The vibe here is unhurried and warm.
Then it’s time for one last ride—up a scenic climb towards one of Madeira’s most iconic spots: Cabo Girão. At 580 metres high, this sky-high cliff offers jaw-dropping views over the coast and the sea far, far below. Step onto the glass skywalk if you dare, and let the wind remind you just how high you’ve come—not just in altitude, but in experience.
From mountain silence to coastal charm and soaring cliffs, this Vespa journey is a slice of Madeira’s soul. Just ride, breathe it in, and let the island show you its magic.
