A Rocha Life guided several tours in the Monchique hills during spring. It is not an area as rich as the coast but we were pretty successful with great views of Common Redstart, Melodious Warbler, Iberian Chiffchaff, Lesser Spotted Woodpecker and Rock Bunting. We even had the chance to spot a Tawny Owl and came across a small group of Griffon Vultures!
