Today we went inland and upwards by way of the usual small windy road to the town of Monchique. It's a small village with many arts and crafts shops. We wandered the streets and then stopped for our obligatory sandwich and beer. We then continued on up the mountain to Foia which is the highest point in the Algarve province. The view is incredible although the pictures don't necessarily show it in it's best light because it was slightly overcast and hazy. Apparently there are natural hot springs in the area but we were unable to find them. We had dinner at a wonderful restaurant within walking distance of our Villa featuring an amazing barbecue buffet. Had a wonderful time and stumbled back home to the Villa (wine is cheap).
