About Tavira
Posted: Thu May 22, 2008 11:50 AM UTC

We are staying in s/c accommodation in Tavira for the first time in September and wonder if anyone could name some good restaurants/bars and general places of interest. We are not young, but not old (if you know what I mean), so rowdy bars which drink into the wee hours are not our scene anymore (been there, done that etc etc) but we do like music/atmosphere etc.

Thanks
Janice

Hiya,

I was wondering if anyone can help with a car hire company that allows multi-destination drop-offs, ie perhaps hiring in Tavira or Faro and dropping off in Lisbon or Porto?

Thank you

Planning to visit the area in Feb 2006..While browsing this evening I got an overwhelming feeeling that this area would suit me very well as a retiremnet/long stay destination to escape cold winters in northern Ireland. Have looked at property prices and they seem not too inflated..what is the catch? seems to have it all ..peace , beside sea, historic, is there something I'm missing..?

Hey there. I coming in from Heulve or Seville by bus and my hotel is in Albufeira. But I'm thinking of getting off at Tavira, do some sight seeing and taking a train from Tavira to Faro, do some more sightseeing and then train to Albufeira.

So my question is - is there "left luggage" service at Tavira and Faro train stations?

Thanks.
