Keep a little mystery in your trip planning: Explorer Picture Mode shows a stylized version of every place instead of the real photo, so you can go by the description and reviews first and picture it your own way -- reveal the real photo any time by flipping the switch off, or just for one place at a time from its own page.

Visiting Monchique

Changed

In the narrow, cobbled streets of the town of Monchique, you find many traditional artisans and craft shops. Look for the traditional x-shaped folding wooden chairs, called "cadeiras de tesoura", for which the town is famous. Hidden in the foothills of the Serra the "Caldas de Monchique" was a spa even in Roman times. Today this beautiful Spa offers a series of treatments and rituals.
