Alte is a municipality (Freguesia) in the Portuguese Algarve in the Loulé district between the Serra de Monchique and the Serra do Caldeirao of 94.3 km² and 1997 inhabitants (as of June 30, 2011). It has often been described as the most typical and pristine village in the Algarve.

The place is located in a fertile landscape on a slope and has the ruins of a Moorish castle, which was conquered by Dom Paio Peres Correia in 1248 . The three-aisled Matriz Church, which has a Manueline high altar in addition to the Manueline portal of a neighboring church, is worth seeing. Rare Sevillian tiles from the 16th century adorn the Nossa Senhora de Lurdes chapel . Two tree-shaded village fountains, the Fonte Pequena and the Fonte Grande , invite you to take a break at stone tables. Visitors are drawn to the nearby Fonte das Bicas karst spring , which is surrounded by pubs and benches.
