It depends on the context, especially if used in poetry. Nook, Corner, seems to me fine. I would also consider the expression "sin recovecos" which means "plainly, frankly".

The most idiomatic English translation (depending on the context of course) would either be "twists and turns" or "nooks and crannies".

My comment:
I fully agree with Susan, but the Spanish word is not "recovetos" but "recovecos"

if plural, "nooks and crannies" (like of a room); road: twists or turns; singular: "cubby hole"
My comment:
The original is misspelled. It should be recovetos.
