The Alte River (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈaltɨ]) is a small river in the Portuguese region of the Algarve.[1] The river along with the Algibre River, another tributary, becomes the Quarteira River after the two rivers conflux. The source[2] of the river is a short distance east of the village of Alte and it runs for a distance of 11.6 kilometres (7.2 mi) to its confluence with the Algibre River near the village of Paderne.
