Safaritent and what to do

Our farmland is easy to reach and still a quiet place to be. Terra do Milho is only an hour drive from Faro airport. The Serra de Monchique is a beautiful mountain range to explore on foot. Many little roads provide an excellent spot for walking around. The distance to the nearest white sandy beach is about 30km (30min drive), you can choose between the warm south-coast and the cooler but quieter west-coast. Along the west-coast stretches the Parque Natural do S.W. Alentejano e Costa Vicentina a nature reserve with amazing walking path’s along high cliffs. The village of Monchique is situated between the Algarve and the Alentejo. Both regions have much to offer. Portugal’s south cost has a rich history of navigators who departed from here to start their journey to America. It is also the place where the Moors lived during most of the middle ages. Traces of this period are still found  in castles and architecture, for instance in Silves, a moorish little town near by our land. A daytrip to Lisbon and Sevilla is also possible. To the north of Monchique lies the Alentejo, Portugal’s most popular wine producing region. With the famous wineries of Borba, Monsaraz and Esporão a few hour’s drive away.
