Location description

Inhabited since well before the birth of Christ, Tavira boasts Roman, Moorish, Crusader remains. An active fishing port, it has a wonderful variety of restaurants. The local town council arranges fairs, exhibitions, street theatre, folk music and dancing, a film festival, etc throughout the summer. Tavira Island has 8 miles of some of the best and least crowded beaches of the Algarve (and even a remote nudist beach). The surrounding Ria Formosa Nature Park is rich in flora, fauna, lepidoptera; you can just wander there or rnet bicycles, horses, etc. The nearby Guadiana Valley, the border with Spain, has several old walled towns reflecting the long rivalry between these two neighbours. You can tour by car or take a boat cruise up the Guadiana River to see these towns (with a leisurely lunch en route). The old city of Seville, a wonderful shopping and equestrian centre (we won't mention the bull fights) is 90 mins drive or express buses connect Tavira with Seville. A local train service (once an hour) connects Tavira with all of the towns of the Algarve coast (and connects also with the high speed train from Faro to Lisbon). Train, bus and taxi fares in the Algarve are a fraction of typical UK costs.
