Unspoiled and imperfect beauty of Tavira
by Toshioohsako
I like this a little bit rusty and old city of Tavira. The white buildings all around the town hit your eyes so impressively and the images you have created about the "white" town never leave your mind. The life here is slow, simple and human relations are intimate and active. The uncomplicated fish dish (cod, sword fish, squid, etc) are delicious as they are not overly cooked by "sauce" loving cooks - its a natural salty taste! You get thirsty though, sometimes all over the night.
This is the Towns meeting place and place to relax
by Waalewiener
Every Town has its meeting place , Tavira has a beautiful area along the river with a nice Pavillon for cultural events, a place to come together and meet friends and family
and of course for visitors to enjoy.

Pego do inferno
by Carmela71
I first saw at another VT member page (quartinb) and got very interested. But if you really want to go, get lots of patience as road signs can be a nightmare.
We follow all the signs until we arrived at the car park (that of course as it was low season was empty) to find that there was no explanation of where to go.
After a while walking without knowing where to go, I saw in the distance a kind of wooden steps on the mountain that has a sing of no entrance only for residences….. and finally we founded this waterfalls.
They were not much spectacular as there was not much water and of course no people bathing in january hehehehe.
I recomend this visit to everyone going to Tavira.

The museum exhibits contemporary art and cultural galleries.
