Monchique is one of the most charming places on the Algarve and it’s very different from the tourist coast, although it is very near the beach area.

With dazzling views and a mild climate, Monchique is located on the Serra de Monchique range of hills, famous for its spa and its bottled water. They say that just a drop will add years to your life!

Surrounded by gardens, those who choose to visit Monchique will find the quietness and the life of a different Algarve. The air is still fresh and many activities take place on the unaltered Monchique range of hills: guided walks, horse riding, flower and bird’s watchers, mountain biking, Yoga, meditation, aromatherapy and cristaltherapy.

And remember that in just half-an-hour you can be an explorer at the coast of the Algarve and in three hours you can go to Spain or Lisbon.
