Nearby the mountain range is the Caldas de Monchiquevillage, a resort-spa built around the natural thermal waters developed by the Romans more than 2,000 years ago. The hot spring water of Monchique has been appreciated since the days of Augustus Caesar, a time when the Romans already knew of its therapeutical powers.

Just 45 minutes away from Faro airport, 20 minutes from the beautiful beaches of Portimão and Alvor, near top-rated Golf courses and less than 10 minutes away from the new Algarve Highway.
