Hiking

Tavira's municipal garden, also known as Jardim do Coreto, is located near the Church of St. Francis (Igreja de São Francisco). From the church, you can see parts of this green space. The park is a peaceful spot with palm trees, benches, a cast-iron bandstand from 1890, and a small pond. It serves as a meeting place for both locals and tourists and forms a pleasant transition between the historic center and the Gilão River.

Hiking

I particularly like the coat of arms depicted in the lawn (I've never seen anything like it before). The many loving details are also simply beautiful to look at. You immediately feel at home in the garden. It has a pleasantly relaxing and calming effect on me.

When we were there in October, someone with a key in their hand alerted us at 5 p.m. that the garden was now being locked. So, it's not accessible 24/7, but it's still highly recommended.
