Monchique Cork Oak Forest

Highlight • Forest

Way in October on the first third not so great. Pushed wide with heavy equipment, very muddy and slippery.

View of the Serra de Monchique

Highlight • Viewpoint

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 typical Medronho schnapps is usually made from the fruit of the strawberry tree, freshly picked from the tree, they also taste very tasty. Slightly sour and sweet.

Caldas de Monchique Thermal Baths

Highlight • Settlement

Pretty, small thermal bath surrounded by lush wooded valley slopes. Old villas, shady places, small parks and babbling brooks. Restaurant and cafe in the center. Buses depart for Monchique or Portimao (Frota Azul) every 2 hours.

Fountain With Basin

Highlight • Monument

Nice circular trail for very hot days.
Easy going. Everything looks a bit neglected, though; it's probably not yet in season or already over. With a little more effort and dedication, this place would be a real gem.
