Monchique

Running behind the renowned resorts and beaches of the Algarve and stretching to the unspoilt western coast, the Serra de Monchique mountain range is Portugal’s best kept secret, although it is now within an hour’s drive from Faro Airport. Cloaked in woodland greenery and soaring to heights around 3,000 feet, the slopes are dotted with terraced hillside villages – the best seats in the amphitheatre for open views to the ocean. This is a place where there is time to soak up the atmosphere of an area of outstanding natural beauty, ideal for wonderful walks and brilliant birdwatching.
