Monchique

You want to relax away from the frenzy of the coast, you love nature, calm and authenticity, this beautiful walking tour is for you ! Your local guide will slow you down to take the time to admire and feel this lush and beneficent nature.

From Monchique, joli village, qui domine la vallée, aux maisons blanchies et aux ruelles pavées, vous monterez jusqu’aux ruines d’un ancien couvent. Les forêts de chênes-lièges, de pins, d’eucalyptus et autres arbres fruitiers, des fontaines naturelles, un platane centenaire, un moulin rénové, rythmeront votre promenade. Vous redescendrez ensuite vers Monchique en passant par de jolis villages pittoresques.

You can then, at your leisure, have lunch in Monchique, stroll or visit the craft shops and historical monuments. On leaving, you will make a stop at a spectacular viewpoint where the gaze embraces the entire plain to the ocean, on days of great good weather.

You will then visit Caldas de Monchique, a small thermal station, which is another charm of this region. There is a pleasant freshness under the trees of its central square.
