Tavira

My friends in-laws recommend to go to Tavira, since it is not as touristic as most of the Algarves other cities. We were curious to see.
I walked there from the neighbouring village and luckily the camp spot (motor home park) was on this side of the town. Tavira is quite small so we could ride our bikes into town.

Since arriving in Portugal the density of German people on vacation grew immensely. Here, in Tavira, the density of families with a young baby seemed to be similarly high.
We found some nice cafes and it is really beautiful to wander around here. You could take the boat to the outer beaches (we didn’t, but I’d recommend it if you’re here) or bike to the next town.
Before leaving we took a small detour driving though the salt lakes to the beach - to see if the first flamingos have arrived (we heard that). And they did! We found some! They’re still quite white but I was happy we’ve seen them. Plus it was a really nice drive that ended up at a small beach and Nick went for a swim.Read more
