    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.

      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.

        The place Alte is one of the most beautiful villages in the Algarve. The source is especially worth seeing, because there is always water there. You can barbecue, relax, go for a walk or visit one of the restaurants. In addition, it is possible to cool in the water.
