What you’re looking at

Eira do Serrado is a viewpoint at about 1,095 metres on the rim above Curral das Freiras, the Nuns' Valley, a village sitting far below in a deep ring of mountains. The camera looks into that bowl: on clear days you can make out the houses, the church and the road winding down; on cloudy days the valley fills with white.

Best time to check this camera

The valley often clears by late morning and clouds over again later in the day, so check before you set off. A clear frame is the cue for the viewpoint and lunch in Curral das Freiras, known for its chestnut dishes and liqueurs.

Can you see down into the Nuns' Valley, or is it a bowl of cloud?

If the view is clear:

If it’s grey or rough:
