| The mountain town of Monchique is a contrast of ancient and modern and the choice of many foreigners wishing to escape the hurly burly of the coastal towns. There are tiny homes available in the centre of Monchique, as well as tastefully designed, brand new apartment buildings. |

| One can never tire of the beauty of Monchique, the magnificent explosion of colour in the spring, the ever changing colours of the cork trees after harvest, the gurgling crystal streams, the hidden springs, blessed by saints and the ease with which one can take advantage of both a busy village life and a privacy and still only 20 minutes drive from Lagos and Portimão. |
