The Algarve / East Algarve region
The Algarve's 200 kilometre stretch of southern shoreline is one of Europe's most popular holiday destinations. The region has attracted visitors since the time of the Phoenicians, but today it caters for millions of tourists a year with its stunning coastline, excellent golf courses and pleasant year round climate. Bordered on two sides by the Atlantic, the Algarve is divided from the rest of Portugal by a series of low lying mountains. In the east, the Guardiana River forms a scenic border with neighbouring Spain. The region's capital, Faro, is built around a charming harbour at the edge of a wide lagoon. Its main attractions include a maritime museum and a 13th century cathedral. The Eastern Algarve is very different compared to the rugged beauty found west of Faro. It’s tidal marshlands have a tranquil beauty and the small resorts along the coast have retained much of their character, looking today as they must have looked long ago. Here, tourism blends in perfectly with local activities creating a relaxed way of life. There is a tinge of excitement and even romance about those ferry or tiny boat trips to the islands, where visitors are rewarded with superb, less crowded bathing beaches and warm waters.
Cabanas de Tavira area
Cabanas de Tavira is a small and friendly village with a reliance on the fishing industry. Whilst filled with a number of shops, restaurants and bars, a welcoming atmosphere is evident without a 'heavy tourist' approach. Cabanas beach is located on the far side of the Ria Formosa and is reached by small water taxis which are reasonably priced. For the keen golfer, there are 5 superb courses within 45 kms of each other, with a 6th due to open. Close by there are also other towns to visit and a short distance away, hill-walking and bird-watching is in abundance. When staying in Cabanas a visit to the beautiful Town of Tavira is essential. Here you will find many fine 18th Century buildings, 37 Churches(!) and a large range of restaurants and shops, mixing both the old and the new elements of the Algarve. The town is steeped in history with known roots reaching as far back as 2000 B.C. A Roman bridge links the two parts of the town across the River Gilão, its sides decorated with traditional old bars and restaurants where can relax and enjoy a peaceful drink or meal, to suit all tastes. You can also visit the old castle, several monuments and the typical fisherman’s harbour which links to the waters of the Ria Formosa Natural Park. Tavira Island and its golden beaches are reached by small boat from the main harbour where you can sunbathe and swim in the pleasant Atlantic Waters. Drive time to Tavira is 10 minutes, or you can travel by local bus.
