Algarve based in one hotel

Arrival at Faro and transfer to Tavira. The small coastal town offers an old town worth seeing with numerous interesting buildings, cozy cafes, and a fish market, which you should definitely visit. You can also walk across the Roman Bridge and stroll along the Gilao River.

A comfortable walk along the coast, starting in the old village of Velha, takes you along deserted paths to the charming fishing village Cabanas. There fishing is still in full swing and an ideal lunch place to enjoy observing the busy life on the water. Through several salt pans, in which numerous bird species dwell, you walk back to Tavira.

To the west of Tavira lies the fishing village of Fuzeta, the starting point of your hike. You will walk along salt ponds and through small villages with colorful houses and blossoming fruit groves. On the shore of the calmly flowing Ria Formosa, you will continue along the edge of the lagoon through the nature park and finally across vast fields back to the old town of Tavira.

For the finale of your week of walking along the Algarve, you discover the island of Tavira, home of the region’s most beautiful sandy beaches and the extensive nature reserve Ria Formosa. It is true holiday bliss to amble along these beaches and marvel at little fishing villages like Santa Luzia, where countless fishing boats are bobbing gently up and down on the waters of the canal.
