Much is written about Algarve, its 300 days of sun per year, its beaches and stunning rugged coastline but there are a few hidden gems still to uncover. We feel Monchique is one
Monchique is worth a visit if you are a foodie. As it is a mountain region, food is rich, cosy and slowly cooked. The main stars are the pork-derived products (charcuterie/sausages/enchidos), the corn meals (papas de milho/xarém) and the cabbage stews.
