The second highest point of the Algarve, amazing views on a clear day from Sagres to Faro, surrounded by nature and rolling hills, good to spy a few birds and maybe more, peaceful nature.

Amazing Convento ruin overlooking the town of Monchique, a steep but worthwhile walk of about 10 minutes through the ancient cork trees leads you to this amazing building, its even possible to have a peak inside from an un official caretaker.

An absolute must to reach the highest point of the Algarve and if you are lucky on a clear day to see the coast from Faro to Sagres and over to the West coast. Great place for hiking or just a winding drive.
