Tavira is arguably the Algarve’s prettiest town, and exudes an authentic Portuguese charm.
Big hotels are few, churches are many, fishing boats crowd the river and everyone has time to dawdle. Beautiful empty beaches with sands that seem to go on forever. Fields of orange trees, heavy with the scent of blossom. Then the hills of fig and almond trees and houses with dazzling whitewashed walls and distinctive chimneys decorated to resemble fine tracery of lace. And, last of all, the great open spaces.
Our walks take us to Tavira Island in the Natural Park, taking in one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, and to pretty coastal villages such as Santa Luzia, Cabanas and Cacela Velha. Inland we wind our way between hills and valleys to the low peak of Zimbral, with wide rewarding views.
Ancient trails take us past farms, through an intricate patchwork of orange groves, olive and carob orchards. Sometimes we walk beside rivers; other times amongst the pines and cork oaks. Through most of our season we are presented with an endless and ever- changing procession of beautiful flowers.
We'll also enjoy dinners at local restaurants giving the opportunity to sample the wonderful Portuguese cuisine.
