White Chapel of Monchique

Highlight • Religious Site

You can find it directly after the climb. You can visit its interior. Besides being unusual, it's super cool inside. It's a pleasure on hot days.

Monchique is located in a valley on the slopes of Mount Fóia. It is known for the nearby six hot springs, "Caldas de Monchique," and the panoramic 902-meter-high Fóia Mountain. Here you can enjoy the Algarve in its purest form, whether by road bike, mountain bike, or on foot.
