It is covered in forest and parts of the range have been transformed into eucalyptus, pine and acacia plantations
which are detrimental to the native forest cover.The range is named after the town of Monchique, located in the area.
Caldas de Monchique is a well-known spa town with geothermal springs also located in this range.

What a wonderful spot for a meal or coffee/lager - interesting re the eucalyptus being grown here, pity about being at the expense of the native vegetation. v
