Monchique is a Portuguese village in the Faro district, algarve region and sub-region, with about 2,300 inhabitants.
It is the headquarters of a municipality with 395.30 km2 of area and 6 045 inhabitants (2011), subdivided into 3 parishes. The municipality is bordered to the north by the municipality of Odemira, to the east by Silves, to the south by Portimão, to the southwest by Lagos and to the west by Aljezur.
The municipality of Monchique was created in 1773, by dismemberment of the municipality of Silves.
In the center of two large mountains (Fóia and Picota), the municipality of Monchique goes down in history with the presence of the Romans in the Caldas de Monchique, attracted by the healing power of its waters. In the following centuries, the mountain was slowly populated and in the sixteenth century Monchique was already a village important enough to deserve the visit of King Sebastian, who intended to grant him the status of city.
The weaving of wool and linen - the solid surrobecos, orianos and burly snartimes of ancient times - among other activities, such as those related to brown wood, contributed to the prosperity and development of Monchique, so that in 1773 it was promoted to the village.
Economic changes from industrialisation meant the loss of textile and other manufacturing. Today, Monchique is an airosa village, facing tourism, with an active handicraft and a diversified economy.
Possessing the richest forests of the Algarve, rich in flyland, eucalyptus, chestnut trees, among others, Monchique also has as a distinctive landmark this forest that makes known to its visitors through safaris, zoos and natural sands and pedestrian expeditions.
