Not all refreshing experiences in Algarve require a beach towel by the sea. Just a few kilometers from the most famous beaches, there's a spot with a pool that combines nature, tranquility, and free access, gaining visibility on social media for being still little frequented.
This space is integrated into the mountain landscape, with support structures and amenities that make it ideal for families, groups of friends, or travelers looking for alternatives away from the crowd.
According to Visit Loulé and content creators Miguel & Inês, it's a public pool located in Fonte da Seiceira, in the village of Ameixial, in the heart of Serra do Caldeirão.
A hidden oasis in the interior of Algarve
The pool is surrounded by a natural landscape and is fed by mountain water. Its main advantage, besides free entry, is the calm environment, without crowds, even in the middle of summer.
According to the same source, the place has bathrooms, showers, picnic areas, barbecues, a fountain with drinking water, a playground, and a support bar or restaurant.
Discreet but accessible location
The pool is located next to Estrada Nacional 2, one of the most emblematic roads in the country. Those heading to Algarve via EN2 find Ameixial as the first village in the region, which facilitates access for those coming from the interior or the north.
The publication adds that this location helps keep the place off the mass tourism routes.
A space with complete infrastructures
Despite being in a rural setting, the space was structured to receive visitors comfortably. There are picnic tables, shaded areas, and sanitary facilities, allowing for a prolonged stay without the need for major displacements.
Visit Loulé also mentions that regular maintenance ensures good conditions of use during the hottest months.
Ideal for families and day trips
The diversity of services makes the pool attractive to different visitor profiles. Families with children find safety and activities there, while couples or solo travelers can enjoy the silence and the landscape.
According to influencers Miguel & Inês, the area is suitable for those who want a break from the hustle and bustle of coastal beaches.
A stopover point for those traveling along EN2
The proximity to Estrada Nacional 2 makes this spot a desirable detour for those traveling the famous route. The pool can serve as a strategic stopover on a journey from north to south of the country.
The site explains that, in addition to swimming, there is space for an outdoor meal or simply to rest in the shade before continuing the journey.
Preserving the space and respecting the surroundings
Although free, using the pool implies basic care. Keeping the space clean, respecting the rules of use, and preserving the tranquility of the place are essential aspects to ensure its continuity.
With the increased visibility on social media, the responsibility of visitors to maintain the balance between leisure and conservation also grows.
