I did this route and I recommend it. 👍🥾

Fonte Grande is one of the main tourist attractions in the village of Alte, in the Algarve interior. Known for its clear and refreshing waters that originate from the Querença-Silves aquifer, it is an ideal place to spend a day with the family, have picnics and take a dip. Fonte Grande is also considered a river beach. Characteristics of the location Crystal clear waters: The water of Fonte Grande springs from the rocks, coming from the interior of the earth, and feeds the Alte stream, making it a very pleasant leisure area. Natural pool: There is a natural pool at Fonte Grande, with calm and shallow waters, which is perfect for swimming, especially in summer. Infrastructure: The area has picnic tables, shade and a support café, providing comfort to visitors. Accessibility: It has accessible entrance and parking for wheelchairs. What to do in the region Fonte Pequena: Another nearby leisure space, Fonte Pequena, was in the past the place where the village washerwomen met. Currently, it has a small monument in honor of the poet Cândido Guerreiro. Vigário Waterfall: The water of the Alte stream continues its course and forms the Vigário Waterfall, a 24-meter-high cascade that is a beautiful point of interest about 1.2 km away. Hiking: The area offers several hiking trails for nature lovers, such as those that can be found on the AllTrails website. Crafts and culture: The village of Alte is known as the most typical in the Algarve and it is worth exploring its streets, the Parish Church and the local wood and ceramic crafts.

The main attraction in Alte is Fonte Grande, a beautiful natural pool transformed into a bathing area, where the spring gushes forth in cold, crystal-clear water. A stone channel carries the current, crossed by small bridges and staircases that invite you to take a dip. On hot days, it's the perfect refuge, a haven of coolness and conviviality, with picnic tables, a small restaurant, and the simple charm of the Algarve countryside.

The market hall in Loulé opened in 1908. It offers all kinds of fresh produce, including fruit and vegetables, local sweets, delicious snacks, and, above all, everything seafood-related! The fish and seafood section takes up half of the hall. Those who arrive early (from 7 a.m. onwards) still have the opportunity to browse and enjoy breakfast. In the mornings, especially on Saturdays, the market is flooded with tourists. On Saturdays, all kinds of fresh and delicious goods can be found outside the market halls as well. A visit is worthwhile!

The town of Loule is well worth seeing, especially the market with everything that goes with it, in a large hall. On Saturdays it is overcrowded with tourists, so it is better to go there on a weekday!

It's a beautiful, idyllic village. Unfortunately, the trail can't be walked as indicated on the GPX map. Part of the route is now privately owned and fenced off. You can only walk there, but you'll have to return the same way.

Quiet village, with cobbled streets, fireplaces, springs and the beautiful Queda do Vigário waterfall. In summer, the river beaches of Fonte Pequena and Fonte Grande, which are, in reality, bathing basins on the Alte river, are very pleasant.

As it is a considerably dry area, the Benémola fountain spring becomes even more special. The entire route is covered in plenty of vegetation - there are hundreds of plant species, more than any other area in the Algarve.
