An Adventure in the Heart of Nature
Welcome to Parque da Mina, a true gem nestled in the green hills of Monchique. This enchanting place offers a unique experience, blending natural beauty, family fun and warm hospitality.
Fascinating Museum : Immerse yourself in local history
The Parque da Mina houses a fascinating museum in a building over 300 years old, immersing visitors in Monchique's local history.
Explore this 17th-century manor house and discover the traditions of the Serra de Monchique, such as grocery shopping, shoemaking, carpentry, dressmaking, medronho distilling, agriculture, bread and honey production, ore extraction and charcoal-making.
Relive the past of a few hundred years with an intense educational approach, easily understood thanks to an almost direct immersion in the lifestyles of different eras. This house museum is presented not simply as a museum, but rather as an inhabitable residence where every detail is arranged as if the family were still living there, recreating the atmosphere of over 50 years ago.

Parque da Mina is home to a variety of farm animals, offering visitors the chance to meet adorable creatures and discover local farming life. From mischievous goats to colorful chickens, pigs, ponies and more, every corner of the park holds surprises for animal lovers.
