Monchique lies between the peaks of Fóia and Picota. It's a charming hillside town with steep cobblestone streets and whitewashed houses and is a perfect base for visiting the springs and exploring the mountains.

The village is surrounded by lush nature, and the ancient magnolia trees are particularly worth seeing. A typical feature of the local architecture is the extremely wide chimney - it extends across the entire width of the kitchen. In Monchique people like to eat: Assadura à Monchique (sliced pork), Feijão com arroz (beans with rice) and Grão com couve (chickpeas with cabbage. In the Restaurante Jardim das Oliveiras in Monchique they serve you good traditional cuisine - you should definitely stop by.
