Tavira is a town well-stocked with pastelarias (cake and coffee shops). While it’s possible to save money by choosing one without a view, a pit stop at one of the options right next to the town’s Roman Bridge and amphitheatre is a must. Yes, these cafes are packed with tourists and pricey (if only by Portuguese standards), but you’re paying for the location. The coffee and cakes are of an incredibly high standard too, as they are all over Portugal.

Shopping

The Gran Plaza shopping centre is worth a visit too, if only for the contrast between traditional and modern Tavira. Containing a range of chain stores, a food court, cinema and hypermarket, this is a standard Portuguese mall. However, it’s very modern and often blissfully quiet (other than on Sundays and during the main holiday season). This makes for an enjoyable shopping experience, even for those who detest shopping!

lha da Tavira is an 11km long sand bar island that is part of the Ria Formosa. The sandbar island essentially protects Tavira and the coast from the Atlantic Ocean. It’s a large part of what made Tavira so successful as a historical town in the past. The island ranges from 150 to 500m wide, and it’s backed by sand dunes, so compared to other beaches in the Algarve it’s a unique environment.
