The Galão River crosses the small town of Tavira, a real gem in the Algarve. Depending on the tide, the boats are in the water or on land.
The crossing on the new bridge is already attractive in itself, but a detour to the old town is also recommended.

The Gilao flows through the city center and flows into the shallow water and mud flats of the Ria Formosa Nature Park, a paradise for migratory birds and marine animals. Behind the lagoon is a large sandbank or island, the Ilha de Tavira, with its beautiful beaches.
