Tavira Portugal

Tavira is a city and municipality, located in the eastern part of the Algarve on the southern coast of Portugal. The Gilão River flows into the Atlantic Ocean in Tavira. Tavira is a stunningly elegant town and somewhat surreal in some aspects. Visitors can be excused for forgetting where they are, or even what year it is, as they step into this unique Algarve fishing town. The stretch of riverfront along the Gilão River is an excellent spot to sit at one of the cafes and appreciate the incredibly picturesque setting. The Roman Bridge (Ponte Romana) crosses the river with low arches, creating gentle reflections on the water, and at low tide, you can see the fishermen looking for clams in the shallows. The gardens (Jardim do Coreto) near the bridge provide a pleasant shady place to sit. Tavira itself is a picturesque, relaxed, peaceful town with everything within reach and is an ideal vacation spot for couples and families. There are also plenty of fantastic places to visit if you want to explore a bit further afield.
