It's a village in the interior of the Algarve. The Ribera de Alte River flows from a mighty spring. The water is said to be very healthy and can be drawn from a well. An old covered washhouse, a model of an old mill, and a small restaurant invite you to linger—a pleasant spot in the height of summer.
