Photo Gallery

The below photos were taken from 01/10/2023 to 01/11/2023.  The day (i.e., 01/09) I arrived Tavira, it was rainy-to-cloudy weather.  But, as you can see it here,  on both days I had stayed, they were sunny.  But, the clouds formed in the sky had made the photos look even more fantastic.  

One Google reviewer had commented on Tavira's Castle ⭐⭐:

Definitely worth a visit. Free entrance to the lovely gardens and old walls, with nice views over Tavira. WC also available inside.

Perfect and succinct descriptions.  But, I need to make one change to the comments:  It is a must-visit location if you ever visit Tavira.
