💨 Abstract

Tavira, Portugal, often called "the Venice of the Algarve," offers stunning waterways and vibrant culture without the overtourism issues plaguing Venice. With beautiful plazas and the meandering Gilão River, Tavira boasts historic sites like Tavira Castle and the Roman Bridge, alongside white sandy beaches on Ilha de Tavira. Local delights include fresh seafood, traditional fado music, and picturesque spots like the Anchor Cemetery beach.
