Tavira is a seaside town in Portugal considered the heart of the Eastern Algarve. The town has a beautiful mix of Portuguese heritage with Moorish traditions. Visit the Igreja da Misericordia, a stunning example of renaissance architecture. The 16th- century church has impressive stonework above the doorway and paintings on the life of Christ on the walls. Head to Tavira’s castle to see the influence of the Moorish era on the town. Enjoy a stroll in the castle garden and see the bougainvillea in bloom. Soak in the views of the city at Praca da Republica, a pedestrian street with a beautiful arcade and a string of cafes. Hop onto Ponte Antiga Sobre o Rio Gilao for those Instagram pictures that will stun everyone. The bridge spanning the River Gilao offers great views of riverside mansions and the Praca Da Republica.
