The scenic location of Tavira, protected by its natural lagoon, offers   tranquility and the opportunity to observe nature and birdlife at its best.   Those with a car, will journey out to further delights. Within a few kilometers   are some of the best golfing facilities in the Algarve, good eating in the   nearby fishing village of Cabanas and a weekly market shopping treat in   Olhão. Nearby Cacela Velha offers spectacular views over the Ria Formosa.   Further afield, there are day trips across the Spanish border to Andulusian   favorites such as Seville.

  At night, a treat awaits you back in Tavira. The town is transformed, with its   illuminated white buildings and Moorish rooftops providing an attractive   backdrop to the variety of restaurants and bars with their tempting   Portuguese menus.
