Highest point in Portugal (Algarve), the drive is scenic and once at the top the view is stunning.

Definitely worth a visit, probably not the first week in January though 😅. Was a tad cloudy and cold, but when there were gaps in the clouds, the views were worth it. The cakes in the coffee shop were lovely, as was the coffee. The gift shop had some lovely items, all hand made.

November visit, wind was fresh but views were excellent to the coast, lots of walks start from the summit , good cafe with hot drinks , reccomend the pineapple cake. Local artisan craft sales when we visited leather, glass, pottery and wicker goods

**Breathtaking Views from the Top of the Algarve!**
Foia Viewpoint is a must-visit if you're in the Algarve — it's the highest point in the region and offers truly stunning panoramic views on a clear day. There’s a convenient car park and even a small café nearby where you can relax and enjoy the scenery. The area is open and spacious, making it a great spot for taking photos, especially if the sky is clear.

Be cautious if you decide to climb up to the top viewpoint area — it’s surrounded by large rocks, which can be tricky to navigate, especially for kids or older visitors. But overall, it’s a peaceful and memorable spot, perfect for a short scenic stop or a quiet moment in nature. Highly recommended!

Nice views but nothing extraordinary. Still definitely worth passing by if you’re in the area! If you don’t have time/aren’t able to hike or bike up, there’s a large parking lot with lots of space so you can drive right to the top.
