A hike in the Serra de Monchique is worth it. Ancient holm oaks, chestnuts and magnolia trees grow on the slopes, there are traditional terraced fields and the charming mountain village of Monchique to see. A climb to the Fóia peak is also worthwhile. From there you have a wide view across the plain to the sea.
