Attractions of Tavira & the Eastern AlgarveThe eastern Algarve’s principal town, Tavira is “arguably the
Algarve’s most charming town”, according to Lonely Planet.
It has something for everyone – a beautiful, historic town with
wide cobbled avenues, shady plazas, a maze of atmospheric
streets hiding a treasure-trove of little boutiques and family run
restaurants and of course plenty of bars where you can enjoy an
alfresco drink. It has a wonderfully relaxed and friendly feel and
huge charm and character.
The Eastern Algarve has escaped the over-development which
has occurred in some areas of the central and Western Algarve,
so retains much of its natural beauty and tranquility. It has quick
and easy access from Faro airport and the rest of the Algarve,
but it feels a world apart.
Tavira has a long history dating from the late Bronze Age.
It was then colonized by the Phoenecians in the 8th century
BC followed by the Romans and Moors; the latter heavily
influencing the town’s architecture, including Tavira castle,
two mosques and several palaces.
The river Gilao meanders through the centre of town, spanned
by old bridges and sets the pace for this town, where no-one
is in a hurry and the pace of life feels like stepping back twenty
years in time. There is a fishing quay on the river and a large
market offering a huge range of local products with a wonderful
range of fresh fruit, vegetables and fish. The river flows into the
Atlantic Ocean and ferries run from the centre of town to the
wonderful beaches on the Ilha de Tavira.
Most of the Eastern Algarve is fringed by some of the best
beaches in Europe, with a series of islands just offshore
providing pristine blue water and soft white sand. Much of
the coastline incorporates the beautiful Ria Formosa nature
reserve, a perfect place for year-round bird watching. This is
one of Europe’s last unspoilt coasts and with virtually no
development there are endless beaches to choose from
between Faro and the border with Spain.
Inland there is a great choice for golf enthusiasts with
several courses including the famous Monte Rei Golf Club,
where the Jack Nicklaus golf has recently been
voted the the number one golf course in Portugal.
The area around Tavira is perfect for many other
leisure activities including horse riding, walking,
cycling, kite surfing, paddle boarding and kayaking,
together with numerous clubs covering most
interests. Tavira also has a large shopping
complex with a 5-screen cinema.
And of course, there is the weather, the reason
most people come here. Year round sunshine,
long summers where you can live outdoors for
6 months of the year, balmy winters perfect
for walking or playing golf and an active expat
community combine to provide near perfect
retirement or holiday living.
Finally, you can really relax here with a slow
pace of life and almost no stress. Portugal has
recently been ranked as the third safest and
most peaceful country in the world by the 2020
Global Peace Index, which, in this time of
worldwide instability, provides a reassurance
to anyone thinking of investing in this area.
