The Algarve / East Algarve region


Besides Tavira, the nearest town on the banks of the river Gilão which offers many places of historic interest and about 30 churches, other nearby places of interest are Olhão which is still known for its octopus fishing, Estoi with the now renovated palace, Castro Marim and many more. Life and shopping in Ayamonte (Spain) just across the border, offers a different aspect of life.
The mild climate in the winter makes it appealing for those wanting to avoid the long, cold winter months in other parts of Europe. The almond blossoms are in full bloom in January and February. The warmest months are July and August and the water temperature is warmer than most other parts of the Algarve. There are many other beaches which can be driven up to.
Besides wine and fish specialities, Portugal is noted for its cork, wicker and ceramics. For the sports interested: Golf, horse-riding, watersports, tennis, fishing, bird-watching, lawn bowling etc. are all offered in close vicinity.
The Cabanas de Tavira area
Cabanas is an old fishing village, which celebrates many festivals such as St. John's day in June, the sea-food festival in August and smaller other fairs and markets during the year.
A 10-minute walk to the "Salinas" (salt-pans) over the newly constructed wooden bridge makes it worthwhile for bird watching and offers various species of birds such as flamingos, ducks, spoon-bills, whoopoes, comrons, herons, black-tailed godwits, blackwinged stilts, aversets etc. The harvesting of salt mid-August is a technique in itself. Great for nordic-walking.

In 2009 we had 15 vacation days to enjoy and no booking ahead. Then we found this apartment on some lucky search and contacted Sandra right away to book it, 24h later we were at Cabanas de Tavira with apt keys in our hand, super and professional work by Sandra. Since then we always choose this apartment for our summer vacations. The apt is located between Conceição and Cabanas de Tavira, in Edifício Canada, with a super, relaxed and refreshing view from his balcony. The Canada complex is quiet and safe. We had remote control keys for main gate and to the garage, in 3 years we had no problems inside or outside the complex, whether it was by car, walking or bike. Inside you will find a large studio with a double bed room and a living room, divided by a wall cupboard, with air conditioning. A DVD and TV with English, German and Portuguese channels is available. The kitchen (very well equipped) and bathroom are perfect, you´ll find everything you need there. There is still a storeroom with a laundry machine. The large balcony is like heaven with panoramic views and a BBQ. Photos bellow speaks for itself. In Cabanas is (or should be) all about walking or biking. You can walk anywhere in 15min. Supermarkets, restaurants and bars is in walking distance. If you are a bike lover the Algarve cycle route passes in front of the Canada main gate. It´s a very peaceful and quiet area, not yet touristy (and please try your best to keep it like that). You can find yourself home away from home in this lovely apartment. |

We have stayed 4 times and love the apt. Sandra is absolutely a dream owner who responds quickly to every request with a pleasant and accomodating demeanor. We have become friends and enjoy her very much. The apt. is beautiful, well equipped and a good walking distance from the small town. Highly recommended. |

Just a note to say thank you for the use of your lovely little apartment. we had a wonderful two weeks there and think you must have the best views and amount of outside space of the whole building, we certainly made good use of them. Chris & Dave
Very clean and comfortable Apartment, with superb balconies and roof terrace. Very well equipped - it's home away from home. Just returned from our fourth visit and hope to visit again next year. Mary and Alan
Thank you so much for the rent of your apartment in June. We had a really good visit and the apartment was excellent. We will definitely be asking for it again. David and Karen
Just a quick note to thank you for the use of your lovely apartment back in July. Thanks also for letting us view your Golden Club accommodation and your hospitality. Your apt. at Canada is home from home regarding utilities etc. etc. and we felt very secure. The balcony is excellent. We had a very relaxing stay. I am sure we will be contacting you again sometime to use one of your properties. Sue and Gary
Having finally arrived back in the UK. yesterday, my Wife and I want to thank you for the use of your excellent Apartment which was well equipped, comfortable and well appointed. Even the staircase was well designed to make the upward journey appear less tedious. Your six wheeled shopping trolley was invaluable. Thanks again. Roy
