Further details
Tavira is one of the most unspoilt towns in the Algarve with the River Gilao running through its centre and spanned by a 7 arched Roman bridge. This unspoilt town retains its historic medieval past with the castle standing watch over some 30 churches. The winding cobble streets are full of small shops and riverside cafes and a daily market offers fresh fish from the local fishermen caught that morning and local fruit and vegetables. There are a varied choice of good restaurants. The Algarve boasts long white sandy beaches with the coveted Blue Flag. The Ria Formosa Natural Reserve Park, which is a World Heritage site, has many rare species of birds enjoying the benefits of a large system of tidal lagoons which is a bird twitchers paradis. Many species of birds migrate here or stop on the way. Flamingos paddle in the salinas (salt marshes) and storks make unruly nests on any high vantage point. During the season the outdoor 'amphitheatre' provides evening music and entertainment. Concerts and classical recitals are held in some of the large churches, which is a wonderful natural setting. During August the Igreja da Calma hosts an outdoor cinema in its precincts.

Guest comments
The perfect place for a relaxing holiday we felt at home instantly. Fitted to a high standard. Tavira is beautiful and unspoilt and is visited by many Portuguese which says something about its appeal. The beach on the island is a must see we visited by speed boat - RD
