    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.

      This place is small and fine.

        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.
