Getting around

We recommend that you hire a car, and are happy to make our recommendations. The village & beach are an easy walk away, but the area has so much to offer that you will want to explore a little. On really hot days, the Monchique Mountains are a refreshing change, with the temperature several degrees cooler, and some stunning vistas. There are some superb & unusual restaurants to be found on your travels.
