What to Do in Tavira, Portugal
Tavira is a small and quaint city on Portugal’s Algarvian coast. Straddling the Gilão River, the island has long and sandy beaches and salt pans that attract flamingos, spoonbills, and other wading birds.
The delightful town has managed to retain its traditional charm and heritage throughout time while still growing into a flourishing go-to holiday destination.
