モンチッチの絶景の山頂・トップ6

We had really thick fog here, but it was still lovely. The funny cyclist figure, well... 8-)

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.

The summit is worth it - unfortunately, the biker on the pedestal is no longer there.

Picota, at 774 meters, is the second highest point in the Algarve and one of the most breathtaking. Here, it's worth stopping, taking a deep breath, and letting your gaze wander across the 360° landscape: rolling mountains and even the Alentejo region in the distance, if the day is clear. It's a magical feeling of almost touching the clouds.

Unfortunately, the tour was over before it had even begun. The first turn-off from the N266 - coming from the "Vale de Carrasquiera" campsite - is closed with a gate. The tour is therefore no longer possible.

The highest mountain in the Algarve is recommended in any weather and when it's nice you have a great view!

Alto da Fóia, at 902m above sea level, is the highest point in the Algarve. It is part of the Serra de Monchique massif. On a clear day, the Atlantic Ocean is visible from the summit.

Quite steep climb through a wild valley. The landscapes are beautiful.
