The area abounds in nature reserves, natural pine forests and conservation areas allowing birds and nature to flourish. An area of outstanding natural beauty alongside the Guadiana river, past the great dams of Beliche and Odeleite and on up to Alcoutim. Here can be found artisans still practising the ancient techniques of crafts such as blanket weaving, shawl and lace making, and straw hat and basket weaving.
Nearby and to the west is the pretty town of Tavira, with its castle and a multitude of churches, now enjoying renewed prosperity from tourism and fishing. The local beaches are to die for and yet are so uncommercialised, apart from the welcome existence of the occasional restaurant, positioned right on the sands, serving local, freshly-caught fish and seafood. Tavira is an attractive and historic town on the Gilao River. The town was originally Islamic, but in 1242 it was taken by King Paia Peres. It became an important port, but declined due to a number of economic and geographic factors, including silting of the river. There is an ancient castle, 18th century buildings and a local market. The local fishing boats still supply the towns restaurants and the harbour provides an interesting backdrop to the town. In addition there are a number of attractive churches, and you can climb up to the remains of the castle and view the town from the walls.The Roman bridge and the tombs of Don Prio Peres Correia and his seven knights also attract flocks of fascinated visitors..
Taviras main beach lies past the salt pans, and is accessible by regular ferries, which take visitors to the long sand island of Ilha de Tavira, where the vast tracts of sand provide an idyllic spot to sunbathe and relax. The secluded beaches of Cabanas and Conceicao are also reaches by boat from a holiday rental in Tavira, and are blissfully calm and peaceful.
