Alte (approx 20 minutes away) is probably one of the most picturesque villages in central Algarve countryside. There is no sense of time while you stroll around the backstreets of the village.

The area is great for walking, and sightseeing; on the edge of the Serra Do Caldeirão and next to Serra Do Monchique you get a real feeling of being part of Portugal. Dotted around are some great value Portuguese restaurants with authentic food. Just a 25 minute drive away is Gale beach, one of the longest and quietest beaches in the Algarve.
