Caldas de Monchique - Serra de Monchique Attractions

Monchique owes its fame to the Caldas de Monchique (warm springs), 6km/4mi further south. They are recommended for the treatment of rheumatism, liver and bladder complaints and problems of the digestive system. Bottles of its waters are on sale all over Portugal. Caldas de Monchique is one of the most idyllic places in the Algarve hinterland, with a turn of the century charm which seems unbelievable a few miles further along the coast. The tiny little spa lies in a narrow valley under tall, shady trees, and a quiet square invites the visitor to linger awhile.
