Monchique, Portugal
Group of statues in the main square in Monchique
The ruins of the 17th century monastery of Nossa Senhora do Desterro on the hill above Monchique
The door of the parish church in Monchique is surrounded by decorative carved rope, honoring Portugal's nautical powers
A relaxed dog in Monchique watches people pass as they climb the hill towards the monastery ruins
We bought these wonderful fig and almond things called fig stars at a bakery in Monchique. We wished we had bought a lot more!
