The Romans already built a major spa here, nowadays the waters are used for the thermal treatment of rheumatism.
A square shaded by trees, a number of buildings with an architectural feature of the end of the Nineteenth century and early sixth century define the quiet and relaxing environment of Caldas de Monchique.
The source of the water and the chapel of Santa Teresa deserve a visit.
The greater attractiveness of Caldas de Monchique is the extensive wooded park. The soft whisper of the stream and the old trees create an inviting space for a relaxing walk or a nice picnic at one of the tables of stone.
