Tavira doesn't really make any concessions to tourism - and I liked it for that ..

A former tuna fishing port on the eastern end of the Algarve, Tavira is split by the River Gilao, crossed by a seven-arched Roman bridge.

The best view of Tavira is from the walls of the Moorish castle - behind the castle is the church of Santa Maria do Castelo, built on the site of a Moorish Mosque and in it are the tombs of Dom Paio Peres Correia and his seven Knights.

If you would like to see more photos, please visit my Tavira Travelogue on this page - thanks.
