A spa vacation
by TinKan
In Monchique you will find everything you need for a spa vacation. There is good shopping for local crafts, good food and the Algarve is only a short drive away so you can get some beach time as well. In the summer many of the Portuguese from the coast come to Monchique to escape the heat of the day so you will find many “day trip” folks running around the town. Take a walk around and explore the Roman ruins and see how much the Roman bathhouses have NOT changed over the past few hundred years.

Eight kilometres up from Monchique, the rocky summit of Foia is the Algarve's highest point at just under 900m. The winding road to Foia is lined by restaurants famous for their barbecued chicken piri-piri.
