Fabulous authentic experience cooking dinner with Inez! The location is amazing with a stunning view over Tavira and out to sea. We were welcomed by Inez and there followed a relaxed informative and fun few hours preparing a three course meal. Each course was simple but delicious and we were guided gently through the techniques by Inez whilst she passed on a wealth of information about Portuguese gastronomy . Dinner outside under the starts in the beautiful garden was delightful. We can't wait for our next visit. Thank you for making it so special.

If you are not familiar with Fado as a musical art form, then this is a great introduction. A short history of Fado is provided by way of a short film, followed by stirring live performances of several pieces of music, some soulful, some very upbeat - all of them from the hearts of the three very talented musicians. Very intimate venue, well worth the 8 euro pp admission fee. Highly recommended.

This is the best beach in the Easter Algarve, in my opinion, take the little train across the Ria Formosa, to the ex tuna fishing village, that now forms a complex of eateries and shops, next to a beautiful beach. In summer lie back and relax, winter take a brisk walk on the beach.

If you have the patience to queue in line for the ferry and for the trip across the lagoon, you'll be rewarded. Beautiful beach, with some shallow water for the smaller kids and crystalline water. There's a bar and straw parasols for hire plus lots of free beach.
