Tavira
Tavira is a lovely old town which
stands on either side of the river Giláo. |

Tavira and the Islands of Olhão
The beaches to the East of
Faro are quite different form those to the West – they’re
sheltered lagoons formed by sand islands – perfect for toddlers.
Tavira is a delightful, authentic town, and the town
beach is easy to reach. Or you can take a boat trip from the
port of Olhao (closer to Faro than Tavira, around 30-mins drive)
(...) When you get there, you can choose form any number of
deserted, white sand beaches with calm, lagoon-like waters. |

Discover the Real Algarve!
Cultural
Life in and around Tavira
Lovers of culture can taste it in
Tavira and its region well into the
hinterland. The "Venice of the Algarve" is divided by the Rio
Gilão, which flows into the Atlantic here. A seven arched Roman
bridge spans the river. Nowadays it is reserved for pedestrians
and offers a good standpoint for photographing the picturesque
houses on the riverbanks. (...) |

(...) Danach geht es weiter nach
Olhão, auch Würfel- oder Kubenstadt genannt. Beeindruckend wirkt
das nordafrikanisch anmutende Stadtbild in leuchtendem Weiß, das
mit dem Gelb der Sandbänke und dem Blau von Himmel und Meer im
Hintergrund einen schönen Kontrast bietet. Die Reise führt Sie
weiter über Santa Luzia, einem kleinen Dorf mit den typisch bunt
bemalten Booten, nach Tavira. Wegen ihres unwiderstehlichen
Charmes wird Tavira oft als "Königin der Algarve" bezeichnet.
Besonders sehenswert sind die bunt gekachelten
Häuserfassaden.(...) |

(...) Die Strände im
Naturschutzgebiet Rio Formosa sind die Strände in und um
Faro, Olhão und Tavira, die man von zwei Ausnahmen abgesehen
(den
Praia da Ilha do Faro erreichen Sie mit dem PKW über eine
einspurige Brücke und zum Praia Barril auf der Insel Ilha
da Tavira gelangen Sie mit einer Strandbahn ) nur mit einem Boot
oder einer Fähre erreichen kann und deren Charakter maßgeblich
durch die Ria Formosa geprägt wird.(...) |

Algarve, terra di scopritori.
L'Algarve é la parte di costa a Sud del Portogallo compresa tra il confine
con la Spagna e "Capo de Sao Vicente"; affacciato sull'Oceano
Atlantico e protetto dalle catene montuose adiacenti, che ne
garantiscono un clima mite anche nella stagione invernale, é
senza dubbio la zona più turistica del paese.
Antico possedimento occidentale arabo, é oggi meta del turismo
internazionale, ma prevalentemente inglese, per il gran numero
di campi da golf che possiede. (...)
Il primo, degno di nota, che si incontra superato il confine é
Tavira; piccolo paesino con uno
splendido centro cittadino, ha nell'isola di sabbia posta di
fronte una delle più belle spiagge del Portogallo. |
