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.
