Tavira Old Town & Roman Bridge
Tavira's old town climbs from both banks of the Gilão, stitched together by the low arches of the bridge everyone calls Roman, rebuilt many times over its long life. Above the rooftops are the castle walls, a camera obscura in an old water tower and a skyline of church towers; below, garden squares and riverside cafés. From the quay, boats run in season to the long sandbar beach of Ilha de Tavira.
Good to know
