In Alte, there are hand-painted murals by Daniel Vieira and Renata Violetta on many houses. A graphic decoration, art in public space, wonderfully fitting for this fantastic place!

Parish Church of Alte

Highlight • Religious Site

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.

Fonte Grande de Alte

Highlight • River

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.
