Relax in Tavira, Sun & Beach 8 Days Pack
Itinerary
This 8 days tour will give you the opportunity to meet the small town of Tavira, an ancient Moorish town that has retained its unique character and heritage. Layers of history can be seen, from Phoenician excavations through Islamic-decorated doorways to Renaissance and Baroque flourishes. However, it is the colours that hit you: blinding-white walls, brilliant azulejo tiles, fiery-red pantiles. It extends along the river Gilão, which arrives to the sea through the entrances of the lagoons of the Natural Park of Ria Formosa. The Island of Tavira has a long sandy beach and salinas that attract flamingos, spoonbills and other wading birds. In the centre, the medieval castle of Tavira offers views of the city. The Church of Santa Maria do Castelo houses the tombs of 7 knights killed by the Moors.

Tavira
We suggest visit the beautiful roman bridge. Enjoy this itinerary until the end, and at the end you can see from the street the São João da Barra Fort. The Bridge, once crossed by cars and people, was partially destroyed again by a flood on the 3rd of December 1989, and restored some time later, but now just pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles are allowed. Tavira always managed to maintain its original appearance and yet, evolve in time.
Tavira
We suggest visit Tavira Castle on the top of the Old Town. Isn’t known when the first castle at this site was built but sources say a fortress was already being rebuilt by the Phoenicians in the 8th century BC. The Castle probably dates back to the 11th century. Tavira Castle was a small and rectangular. It now consists of remains of two square towers, one octagonal tower and walls on three sides. None of the towers nowadays possess the characteristics of a keep but there surely had been one. The interior is used as a small garden. You can have a unique view from the walls and towers, of Tavira until the sea. The castle can be visited, for free, during the daytime. Around the old town you can find several parts of towers and walls of the old medieval city walls, but are not open for visit.
Quatro Águas
We suggest visit “4 Águas” from the Hotel until “4 Águas” you have a walking path between the salt bans where you can see workers taken out the Salt from the reservoirs. On the end of the walk you reach the Tavira pear where you can see a Intersection of waters that come from the hills and mixed in to the river and go to the Ocean. We do suggest to have a drink at the end and enjoy the view. (Very good if you enjoy at the end of the day the sunset).
