    With an elevation of 901 metres (2,959 ft) and a topographic prominence of 739 metres (2,425 ft), Fóia is the highest mountain of Algarve, Portugal. It is part of the Serra de Monchique range and is located within Monchique parish.

    There is a paved road right to the summit which is topped by several telecommunication facilities including the Radar Station Number 1 of the Portuguese Air Force. On a clear day the Atlantic Ocean is visible.

      The trail is easy to walk from Monchique to the summit. Not overgrown, not overgrown.

        This food truck is located directly below a miradouro and is just plain cool.
