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.

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.

Tribute monument to cyclists. The winning moment at the end of the climb. This is a very special places for cycling in Portugal. The only other spot to compare is Alto da Torre at Serra da Estrela.

The geodesic landmark of Atalaia, high above Luz, was built in 1926. At 108 m (360 feet), the site offers sweeping views along the coast and marks the highest point on the Algarve coastline. The trig point was used back in the day for surveying purposes but is now used by hikers for navigation. It is one of Portugal's +/- 9,000 geodetic landmarks. Geodetic markers are signals that indicate an exact cartographic position and form part of a triangulation network with other geodesic markers. Usually, they are installed in high and isolated places with a clear line of sight to other vertices. Although locals call it "the Monument", it has no historic meaning. Another such marker is the Torre de Aspa on the Costa Vicentina coast, about 5Km from Vila do Bispo, with a nice 360º view.

The statue at the Foia Summit depicts the 2022 World Champion in road cycling Remco Evenepoel (BE) winning a stage on that very spot during the “Volta ao Algarve 2020”. Evenepoel won the Tour of the Algarve in 2020 and again in 2022.
