It was reconquered from the Moors in 1239 (1242?), and raised to the rank of City in 1520.

Tavira has a pleasant setting on an estuary of the Séqua river at the foot of a hill girded by the remains of ramparts built by King Dinis. The Roman bridge and Moorish walls testify of the town´s long history.
ReplyDeleteThe earthquake in 1755 demolished most of Tavira´s buildings and silted up the harbour thus cutting the town off from the coast. In the past Tavira was an important center for tunafish and today continoues some of its fishing activities. The local beach is on an offshore bar. Camping Isla de Tavira,.00351 281 321 709.

Tavira, à 30 km á l´est de Faro, une ville côtière qui devrait vous laisser un joli souvenir de l´Algarve. Tavira, qui fut au XVle siècle la cité la plus peuplée de la région,
ReplyDeleten´a pendant longtemps absolument pas été touchée par l´urbanisation touristique? Et cela pour 3 raisons:
d´abord la mer est à 3 km, ensuite le sol est trop meuble pour permettre la construction de grands hôtels, enfin , la longue gestion socialiste de la municipalité (certes passée à social-démocratie depuis 1978) a toujours résisté aux rêves de marina des promoteurs immobiliers? Tavira a changé mais elle garde encore une fraîcheur et un naturel sympathiques. Elle peut aussi se vanter de posséder dans son canton un nombre record de monuments religieux: trente-deux au total, dont vingt et un à Tavira même, avec pas mal d´églises
intéressantes dans le lot, mais généralement fermées. Autre particularité: ses toits en biseau, qui donnent à la vieille ville une belle unité architecturale.

Tempting Tavira. One of the larger towns in the Eastern Algarve. Tavira has avoided the excesses of development and lost none of its grace. It elegantly borders both sides of the Rio Sequa, which becomes the Gilao as it slides under the seven-arched Roman-style bridge, the Ponte Romana, towards the sea.
ReplyDeleteWith its estuary and outlying island, Tavira flourished in the 16th Century. But trade dwindled as the fish disappeared, and this lovely town composed of narrow streets, pastelcoloured patrician's houses, miniature towers, domes, unusual four-sided roofs and minarets today leads a quieter life.
There are more than 30 churches and chapels in Tavira, of which the most interesting are Igreja da Misericórdia,Igreja de Santa Maria and Igreja de Santiago, the starting point of "O Caminho do Este de Portugal", the Historical Pilgrimage from Tavira to Santiago de Compostela in Spain, by the Eastern Provinces of Portugal, since the 14th Century.

Best period for Pilgrimming, Best time for visiting Algarve.
ReplyDeleteThe Algarve is popular all year round by virtue of its excelent climate. When northern Europe shivers through the WINTER it is possible, if not perhaps to sunbade, or at least to enjoy lunch or a game of tennis or golf in shorts and polo.
As it is so far south (Faro is on the same latitude, 37°
N, as Tunis, Sicily and southern Greece) the sun is always agreeably high. Having said that, rain is always a possibility in the winter and you should pack a warm jacket to cope with the odd bout of chilly weather.
Many regulars rate SPRING (March to May) as the best time to visit; it is warm rather than hot, the wild flowers are lovely and the threat of rain is receding.
SUMMERS are very warm but there is generally a cooling breeze on the coast. September and October
are often warm and occasionally even quite hot, but evenings can start to become a little bit cooler.
So for Pilgrims and tourists "O Caminho do Este de Portugal desde Tavira" is in perfect conditions for walking and cycling. Always safety first! Bom Caminho.
