Tavira gardens is 10 minutes from the motorway and a short drive or 15 minute walk from Tavira centre, or a taxi ride is approx 4 euros. The local supermarket is a 5 minute walk, approximately 300m and freshly baked pastries and bread can be purchased daily from here. Tavira is a beautiful historic town as well as a lively fishing port and offers fish as a speciality in its many inexpensive restaurants and tapas bars. Tavira has a large indoor market, selling fresh fruit, vegetables, meats, fish and cheeses all locally caught or grown.
Tavira boasts a large new shopping mall The Grande Plaza, (approximately 800m from the apartment) with boutiques, food court, cinema etc.. (The cinema shows the latest films, English films are shown in English with Portugese subtitles.
Tavira has managed to largely avoid the brash disco bars and lager louts that plague many of the resorts of the western Algarve, this makes it ideal for family holidays but your teenagers can still let their hair down, there are at least two or three good dance clubs in town.
June to September the local Camara (town council) organises street theatre, folk music and dance sessions, exhibitions, fairs, markets, a film festival, etc...
The town abounds in architectural relics of its Roman, Moorish and Crusader history.
The best beaches in the area are those of Ilha da Tavira, a sandbar which stretches along the coast of Tavira and which is reached by various ferries or by means of a 'toy' train. The Island has some 8 miles (12km) of white sands (even a remote nudist beach). Ferry or train take 5 to 10 minutes. Bars, Restaurants, lounger/umbrella hire are available on the beaches but you can also walk a few hundred yards and stake out your own uncluttered area.
The Guidiana River marks the border between Spain and Portugal. Centuries of conflict between the two have left a series of walled towns along the riverbanks. The Guidiana Valley is approx. 20 miles (30km) from Tavira but probably the best way to explore the walled towns is to take a leisurely river cruise from Villa Real do Sto Antonia (they stop for lunch en route up river).
The Ria Formosa Nature Park surrounds Tavira, rich in flora, fauna, it is ideal for birdwatching, rambling, cycling, horseriding etc..
The Benamor golf club is only a 5 minute drive away, and they do rent clubs by the round, or Blue Sky Golf rent clubs by the week and will deliver and pick up from the accommodation.
