Things to do in Tavira
Tavira is the quiet eastern Algarve, a river town with islands off the coast.
Boats run out to Ilha de Tavira and through the eastern Ria Formosa, and the town itself rewards a slow walk.
There is less on offer than in the west, but what runs tends to be cheaper and less crowded.
