"Mountains" Top 5 Page for this destination Algarve Favorite Tip by micas_pt

Favorite thing: Algarve is much more than just beaches and nightlife. Its interior landscape is very beautiful and unknown for most visitors. There are 2 major mountains in Algarve - Serra do Caldeirão (West) and Serra de Monchique (East); in-between there is the Espinhaço de Cão. Unfortunately, some of these mountains have been severely damaged by fires which occur every summer. But still, there is plenty to visit and enjoy. In some areas there are also dams, which always provide a pleasant and refreshing landscape in hot summer days and mild winters.
