Tips
If you pedal up the Estrada da Fóia towards Monchique, you will not reach the summit, but at the highest point of the road at an altitude of 715 meters, you deserve a little break with a great view.

Until Foia a very quiet and easy to drive on which you should take enough water.

There was a bit of a chilly wind at the summit!! (50-60km/h) Plan your clothes accordingly. A bronze statue in honor of the Belgian professional cyclist, Evenepoel, winner of the last Tour of the Algavre 2022, should soon be enthroned again at the summit!!! Attention "selfie" lovers! 😉
