Tavira historic centre
Tavira, Portugal

Tavira rewards a walk without an overfilled schedule. The Gilão, whitewashed streets, churches and remnants of the castle give the historic centre a varied sequence of views, while the old market building anchors a different chapter of local life. Choose it for an afternoon that moves between architecture, riverside pauses and a considered meal. The town’s appeal lies in these small transitions, so leave space to turn down a side street or linger by the water.
