Tavira

Oct 7-9 Tavira
What a great little town and it appears many others have discovered the beauty of the town and its surroundings. I would describe Tavira as quaint - having old-fashion beauty and charm. It's main industry used to be the extraction of sea salt, and there are still a few fields operational. However, now tourism is the number one industry, with many cafes and restaurants and accommodations, including the growth of vacation apartments. And the beaches are easy to access with regular ferry services.

We took a trip to a nearby town, Santa Luzia and the beach. The walk took about 1.5 hours but worth the trip. We had a picnic lunch and I afterwards had a little snooze and Julie decided to take a walk along the beach. Much to her surprise she came up the nudist section. She turned around quickly and headed back. She said it was not a pretty sight.

Our trip back Julie spotted a very friendly cat at the kiosk
