The formal gardens are very pretty and there are also free public toilets there. From the battlements there are good views over Tavira.

At low tide it goes very far

The garden at Castelo de Tavira is beautiful. The grounds are very well-maintained and feature an interesting botanical selection. It's like being in paradise.

The medieval Castle of Tavira dominates over the mouth of the river Gilão. The settlement in the parish of Santiago has developed as an important sea port since antiquity, with its predecessors dating back to the 8th century BC, passing through the hands of Phoenicians, Greeks, Celts, Carthaginians, Romans, Moors and the Portuguese crown. Free access to the grounds.

Beautiful view over Tavira from the walls

Tavira Castle is worth a visit for its wonderful views of the town and the surrounding area, all the way to the sea. This fortified structure originally dates back to the Moorish period, between the 8th and 13th centuries. It was rebuilt after the Reconquest. King D. Diniz (1261-1325), who was defensively minded, thus included Tavira in the line of castles intended for national defense. Several sections of the defensive wall, part of the medieval palace, and an archway, the Arco da Misericórdia, remain.

The landscape is part of the Ria Farmosa. The Chameleon Trail also leads right past this charming little village. So always be careful 🤗

Parque Natural da Ria Farmosa You can walk for miles along the beach from Tavira to Fábricia. From there you can take a small boat to the town for €1.50. The beach is almost deserted for early June. Small and large shells line the path, in my opinion one of the most beautiful beaches in Europe.
