Monchique is located in a valley on the slopes of Mount Fóia. It is known for the nearby six hot springs, "Caldas de Monchique," and the panoramic 902-meter-high Fóia Mountain. Here you can enjoy the Algarve in its purest form, whether by road bike, mountain bike, or on foot.

Hiking
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.
