Tavira Travel Forum

My husband and i are coming to Tavira and Alvor in early June,1 week in each, we have been to both before and love them but we are wanting to visit any interesting places nearby but we do not drive and we are not on a package.Can anyone recommend any trips organised locally or places which are reachable by public transport?

You can visit the lovely villge of Santa Luzia.
Catch the bus for Pedras Del Rei and get off on the promenade at Sta. Luzia.
Alternatavly a taxi is about €5.
Take a water taxi from Luzia to the beach at Terra estrata or stay on the bus and catch the mini train €1 each way up to Barril Beach.
Whilst in Santa Luzia Casa de Polvo on the promenade offers local cuisine at very resaonable prices.
Vincents french restaurant offers 5* meals at 3* prices (Rack of lamb and duck are not to be missed)
The main thing on offer in Sta. Luzia though is tranquility.
Have you been to the Camera obscura in Tavira?
It is in the old water tower, try it.
Pego do inferno is worth a visit but you would need to drive.
See my blog www.santaluzia-portugal.blogspot.com for some pictures and a feel for Luzia.
