Hiking
Here, it's worth stopping, taking a deep breath, and letting your gaze wander across the 360° landscape: rolling mountains and even the Alentejo region in the distance, if the day is clear. It's a magical feeling of almost touching the clouds.

Hiking
The view on clear days is fantastic.
From the summit you can see the entire Algarve coast and the Serra de Monchique in a 360° panorama.
Be careful when climbing - there are sometimes free-roaming, highly aggressive guard dogs near farms.
I recommend that everyone takes pepper spray with them on the tour
