“Finally, you can really relax here with a slow pace of life and almost no stress...”

Attractions of Tavira & the Eastern AlgarveThe eastern Algarve’s principal town, Tavira is “arguably the

Algarve’s most charming town”, according to Lonely Planet.

It has something for everyone – a beautiful, historic town with

wide cobbled avenues, shady plazas, a maze of atmospheric

streets hiding a treasure-trove of little boutiques and family run

restaurants and of course plenty of bars where you can enjoy an

alfresco drink. It has a wonderfully relaxed and friendly feel and

huge charm and character.

The Eastern Algarve has escaped the over-development which

has occurred in some areas of the central and Western Algarve,

so retains much of its natural beauty and tranquility. It has quick

and easy access from Faro airport and the rest of the Algarve,

but it feels a world apart.

Tavira has a long history dating from the late Bronze Age.

It was then colonized by the Phoenecians in the 8th century

BC followed by the Romans and Moors; the latter heavily

influencing the town’s architecture, including Tavira castle,

two mosques and several palaces.

The river Gilao meanders through the centre of town, spanned

by old bridges and sets the pace for this town, where no-one

is in a hurry and the pace of life feels like stepping back twenty

years in time. There is a fishing quay on the river and a large

market offering a huge range of local products with a wonderful

range of fresh fruit, vegetables and fish. The river flows into the

Atlantic Ocean and ferries run from the centre of town to the

wonderful beaches on the Ilha de Tavira.

Most of the Eastern Algarve is fringed by some of the best

beaches in Europe, with a series of islands just offshore

providing pristine blue water and soft white sand. Much of

the coastline incorporates the beautiful Ria Formosa nature

reserve, a perfect place for year-round bird watching. This is

one of Europe’s last unspoilt coasts and with virtually no

development there are endless beaches to choose from

between Faro and the border with Spain.

Inland there is a great choice for golf enthusiasts with

several courses including the famous Monte Rei Golf Club,

where the Jack Nicklaus golf has recently been

voted the the number one golf course in Portugal.

The area around Tavira is perfect for many other

leisure activities including horse riding, walking,

cycling, kite surfing, paddle boarding and kayaking,

together with numerous clubs covering most

interests. Tavira also has a large shopping

complex with a 5-screen cinema.

And of course, there is the weather, the reason

most people come here. Year round sunshine,

long summers where you can live outdoors for

6 months of the year, balmy winters perfect

for walking or playing golf and an active expat

community combine to provide near perfect

retirement or holiday living.

Finally, you can really relax here with a slow

pace of life and almost no stress. Portugal has

recently been ranked as the third safest and

most peaceful country in the world by the 2020

Global Peace Index, which, in this time of

worldwide instability, provides a reassurance

to anyone thinking of investing in this area.
