I love Tavira! My parents fell in love with Portugal in 1971 and, whenever we lived there, they would avoid taking us to the Algarve (my mom pictured tons of overwintering and vacationing tourists, dug deep into her stereotypes of the place, and had no desire to go - our loss). Well, in 2022, I finally dragged her reluctant bum down to Tavira for both a stay above an orange and pomegranate grove valley as well as one right in town above the river. She loved it! We all loved it. By the way, we had a fantastic meal at Restaurante Colibri in Moncarapacho. Lovely owners, too.

I agree, Lani. Tavira is a special place.
I love Tavira! My family and I ended up settling just north of Lisbon but Tavira remains one of my favorite places in Portugal.
