Whether you want to wander romantic cobbled streets looking at the 37 churches or soak up the sun on huge expanses of sandy beaches – Tavira is a wonderful place for a holiday. Restaurants range from smart and sophisticated to local and casual. If you’d rather eat in, Tavira boasts a huge indoor market (fresh fruit and vegetables, meat and fish) three minutes walk away. Otherwise, just sit back and watch the world go by in a one of the pavement cafes.

Whilst the town attracts tourists, particularly in summer, they come from a wide number of countries, in fact many are Portuguese or Spanish.
