Tavira is considered by many to be the most beautiful town in the Algarve. stand on the battlements of the moorish castle on top of the hill. Nowhere else in the Algarve, along with the old tavira full of churches and historic buildings has developed to a modern town with a lot to offer to the tourists

Besides churches and a fascinating history, Tavira is simply a magical place to visit. Just take a stroll on the riverside broad-walk in the late afternoon and observe the reflections of the town on the other side.

    Vitor, the downtown area of Tavira looks very quaint and a nice place to wander in! Great travelogues too, the pool of water at Pego do Inferno looks very inviting for a hot Algarve day!

    Pego looks like a perfect spot to "steam the worries away'. Thanks for some great photos --and greetings from an icy Chicago!

    What a beautiful place! I especially love the photos of the white churches - Portugal seems to have a very distinctive architecture! Can't wait to see it in person!
