The 246-meter-long and 50-meter-high dam was built between 1944 and 1956. A turbine used to generate electricity there, but it is probably out of service now.

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.

This is a bike café dedicated exclusively to cyclists, in Alte (Loulé). It is a mandatory meeting point for cyclists traveling the roads and paths of the Algarve coast, as well as a stop to rest and sample typical cuisine.

Although the center of Lagoa itself is not of particular interest, there are numerous vineyards in the surrounding area, making it the wine capital of the Algarve. The composition of the soil, combined with the abundance of sun, provides the perfect conditions for growing vineyards.
