A beautiful Waterfall hidden inland from the well-trodden coastal Algarve. The name- ‘fall of the vicar’ – conjures beguiling nymphs and heady sunlight; this waterfall with its deep cool water, flowery banks and a hidden cave, certainly provides the requisite Pre-Raphaelite backdrop. Inside a nearby cave, stalactites drip like hundreds of guttering candles in a long-forgotten chapel.
From Alte head out along the N124 towards the cemetery; at the roundabout turn left and park by the cemetery. Follow the track downhill until you reach the pool below.
