The Algarve / East Algarve region
Tavira Architecturally one of the most attractive towns in the Algarve. Beaches that go on for miles. Fields of orange trees. Hills of figs and almond trees. Houses with whitewashed walls and distinctive chimneys. A Roman bridge links the two parts of the town over the Ria Gilao. Much of Tavira is rural and undeveloped although that is changing due to the tourist industry. Beaches Ilha da Tavira – regular ferry crossings to the island which is opposite the town. Long beach including sport facilities. Cabanas – beach separated by the Ria Formosa, accessible by boat. Conceicao – opposite village of same name and is reached by boat. Extensive beach. Santa Luzia – vast beach that offers solitude. Barril – long beach.
Vila Real The little frontier town of Vila Real de Santo António lies on the right bank of the Guadiana which is navigable as far as Mértola. There are regular ferries to Ayamonte, the Spanish port on the other side, although these have been used less since a expressway bridge was built across the river a few miles to the north.However, river excursions from Vila Real de Santo António are most enjoyable. The many visitors to the town come for the day to take advantage of the bargains in the shops. Until the 1960s there were a number of fish canning factories here, especially for tuna and sardines, but now there are only two.TownscapeThe town was founded in 1774 by the Marquês de Pombal on the site of Santo António da Avenilha which had been destroyed by a tidal wave at the beginning of the 17th C. He had it laid out like a chessboard, and settled it with fisherfolk from Aveiro. The town centre is the Praça do Marquês de Pombal, paved with a black and white mosaic radiating from the obelisk (1775) that is a monument to José I, and lined with inviting street cafes.
Cabanas de Tavira area
Cabanas is situated beside the Ria Formosa lagoon with excellent unspoilt sandy beaches which continue along the coast to Manta Rota, 2 mins by taxi boats across the Ria. The beach has a supervised swimming area, first aid post, changing facilities, 2 cafes, water sports and sun loungers. From Tavira the beaches at Isle da Tavira can be accessed by boat. Manta Rota is a 15 min drive and Monte Gordo a further 10 mins away.
Golf Benamor golf course has views of the mountains and is 5 mins away from the apartment and offers a tight and challenging round. Quinta da Ria with beautiful sea views and Quinta da Cima are within 10 mins. The new Jack Nicklaus signature course at Monte Rei is open and is a further 5 mins away and the course at Castro Marim a 25 min drive.
