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.

Alte Village Center

Highlight • Settlement

The whitewashed houses with colorful doors, the Algarve chimneys are finely decorated, and the narrow streets are made of cobblestones. Walking through this town undoubtedly gives you the feeling of being inside a living painting.

Rocha dos Soidos

Highlight • Natural Monument

The rock massif of Rocha dos Soidos rises about 10 km northeast of Alte. The 467 m high cliffs fall on the north side so the most beautiful view of the massif is from the north side.
