Baltazar and the waterfall at ALTE

As Corona virus speads panic across Europe and travel restrictions it is time to share something positive. We visited the charming village of Alte a few weeks ago, about 15 km inland from the Algarve coast of Portugal.

In the summer people swim in the canal.

Walking into the village in darkness we were surprised to meet Baltazar, quite a character and popular with locals and tourists alike.

The hidden secret is the waterfall which some people did not find in many visits to the village.

Thanks to friends for recommending this place. We spent a night by the cemetery  where a number of motor caravans were parked.
