TAVIRA and LOCALITY: Tavira is an ideal place to stay and to use as a base to explore the East Algarve area. Quinta do Morgado is just 35 minutes’ drive from Faro airport, and 25 minutes’ drive to the Spanish border. The condominium is set within beautiful landscaped gardens with many sub-tropical plants and old olive trees. The grounds & gardens are attended to by keen gardeners and is patrolled by a security patrol at night. TAVIRA Tavira is one of the most charming & unspoilt towns on the Algarvian coast. It has so many different aspects to offer, sightseeing in both Portugal and Spain with towns steeped in history, all set in spectacular scenery. An endless choice of activities includes golf, fishing, horse riding, sailing, windsurfing, scuba diving, cycling etc. Many of the blue flag beaches are minutes from the villa. There are many quality golf courses to choose from, the nearest is the prestigious 18 hole Benamor golf, 5 minutes’ drive from the house. TAVIRA TOWN is unspoilt, with cobblestone streets and many restaurants, shops bars and terraces straddling the Gilão river, it is regarded as the Algarve’s prettiest town, and exudes an authentic Portuguese charm. Big hotels are few, churches are many, fishing boats crowd the river and everyone has time to dawdle. Our house is approximately 15-20 minutes walk into the old town centre. The ‘GRAN PLAZA’ is a modern covered shopping precinct just 5 minutes walk from our house. There are numerous quality contemporary shops and stores, a large ‘Continente’ supermarket, good selection of eating facilities and a cinema. All with free covered parking and climate controlled internal environment. TAVIRA BEACH is 12 km long and forms part of the RIA FORMOSA NATIONAL PARK. It is located on TAVIRA ISLAND and is accessed by a short, and regular river ferry ride. TRAVELLING and GETTING AROUND: Most people collect a hire-car at Faro airport; driving is safe and car hire is good value. Alternatively it is easy and cheap to get around using local transport. A taxi from the Airport to Tavira will cost approximately 60 euros. Taxis around Tavira are safe, clean, numerous and good value. A local bus takes a circular route around Tavira town and its outskirt throughout the day; the bus stop is close to the entrance of the condominium, on the opposite side of the roundabout. Additionally buses also stop outside the condominium that travel daily along the coast in both directions. A good train service runs throughout the day along the Algarve coast, allowing you to explore many more places of interest further along the coast at a reasonable cost.
