Why You Should Buy A Property In Tavira On The Eastern Algarve Portugal
The undiscovered gem of the Eastern Algarve
When people ask me about Tavira I can honestly say that I sometimes dont really know what to say.
Do I tell them about the stunning miles of empty beaches the fact that the town has its own island just off shore the memorable seafood meals I have had there the seemingly endless rounds of festivals when the whole town parties the unbelievably low price of a beer or a coffee
Or do I just say “Oh its alright there I suppose I am not sure you would like it though.”
Why the dilemma?
On the one hand I have a business that involves recommending Tavira to people looking to buy a property in Portugal or more specifically a property in Tavira. On the other hand I dont want my beautiful town and area being over run by mass development.
Fortunately the local authorities have got it just right. There is no doubt that the town of Tavira and also the villages around are expanding. But the new building is sympathetic to the environment and surroundings. You will not find huge ugly tower blocks here.
No the new property in Tavira is either low rise apartments usually set in beautiful gardens with a generously sized communal pool or detached villas with their own grounds and private pool.
Occasionally a traditional town house near the centre of town comes on the market and these are usually snapped up very quickly.
People love the fact that the older properties in the narrow cobblestone streets are naturally cool in the summer yet warm in the winter. The proximity to the bars and restaurants of town is another added bonus.
The restaurant and bar scene in Tavira is lively and great fun. The locals love to party but all young and old alike seem to enjoy themselves by having noisy conversations with their friends and family. Its rare to see a local in a drunken state and you certainly do no get any of the mindless chanting so common in the UK on a weekend night.
Restaurants are open late and are always happy to provide either a snack or a full 3 course meal. The local seafood is fantastic and you will not believe the prices.
The other great thing about Tavira is its proximity from the UK; just 2 hours by plane into Faro from Gatwick and then a half hour or less drive. If everything goes to plan and you are brave with your timing to get to the airport in the UK its possible to do it in just a fraction over 4 hours from London. Dont cut it too fine though and miss your plane as I have done.
Tavira is certainly a jewel in the crown of the Algarve but it is not a gaudy flashy diamond but rather it is a quiet and beautiful understated sapphire.
Please come and have a look at the great property in Tavira.but just not all of you.
