Holidays in Moncarapacho

An introduction to Moncarapacho

Holidays in Moncarapacho offer a different twist to the usual beach-side breaks in the Algarve. Since the place is a small but bustling, rural market town, holidays in Moncarapacho give you a true insight into the traditional Portuguese way of life away from the beaches and purpose-built resorts of the coast.

It is at the heart of the country's flower industry, so expect your holidays in Moncarapacho to include plenty of fragrant walks in beautiful countryside. The town is hidden away betwixt the Sierra de Moncarapacho mountains and the deep, blue sea. It is surrounded by olive and orange groves, so it's perfect for walkers, painters, photographers or country-lovers searching for an idyll. There's a quaint medieval church with a 16th century, Renaissance doorway alongside a curious little museum and the winding streets are lined with gorgeous white, pink and terracotta houses, local restaurants serving authentic regional cuisine and relaxed bars and pavement cafes. So your last minute holiday in Moncarapacho will quickly turn into an ultimately relaxing break.

But that's not to say there aren't things to be done! The town is famous (locally) for its four-day festival and its vibrant Saturday market, and its proximity to the coast means your summer holidays in Moncarapacho can include just as much sea, sun and sand as you want, mixed with bird-watching trips to the Formosa National Reserve or voyages of discovery, by boat, to a variety of coastal towns.
