At the top of the Monchique mountain range rises Foia, the highest point in the Algarve, at 902 meters altitude. Its antennas mark the summit where the sky seems closest and, on clear days, the view reaches the Atlantic. Up here, the wind blows freely and the view is simply unforgettable.

Founded in 1631 by Pêro (or Pedro) da Silva, nicknamed "Mole," who later became Viceroy of India, the Convent of Our Lady of Exile now rests in ruins, shrouded in legend and silence. It is said to have originated from a promise made at sea, and that its founder brought back from India a small ivory image, still kept as a relic. Even abandoned, the convent retains the charm of the place where it was built: among trees and views that seem to embrace the entire mountain range.

The dirt track winds through a serene valley, where ancient terraces still shape the hillside and the sound of pasture echoes between stone walls. These terraces, shaped over centuries, are veritable agricultural staircases, a patient work that transformed the mountain range and remains today as a living testament to the harmony between man and the mountain.
