The village of Monchique stands at 458 meters high, simple and beautiful, as if to show much more of what the Algarve region can offer besides its beautiful beaches and blue sky. The termal village of Caldas de Monchique is located 6 km south of Monchique and 18 km north of Portimão. It is also about 52 minutes from the sumptuous beaches of the Vicentine Coast (to the west) and offers residents and visitors alike a unique combination of lush vegetation, historic 19th century buildings, cultural heritage and a thermal spa.
Recently, the local authorities launched the Renature Monchique project to promote the recovery of the ecosystems in harmony with the rest of the Algarve region - which remains Portugal's top holiday destination. Private investors have invested several million of euros in renovating the tourism offer, raising standards and the wellness offer of this region.
