From: Carole and Ivan
Date: April 2009
We wanted to say what a super week we had at Casa O Porto. The apartment was ideal - very light and spacious and that lovely balcony gave a 'birds eye view' over the fishing boats - we spent countless hours just watching the daily comings and goings. The journey from Faro to Tavira via train was most enjoyable and quite easy. Certainly hope to come back to this apartment next year.
Attached is Ivan's sketch of the cafe. It's at the end of the long walk out through the salt marshes to the jetty to get the boat across to Tavira Island and full of local colour - lots of shouting and gesticulating!!. It's a very interesting walk through the salt marshes - lots of birds - and good exercise. We spent time in the lovely old castle gardens where you have excellent views of the town although trying to sketch when surrounded by a whole coach party is a little unerving! The food market is a gourmet's joy - never have I seen so many different varieties of fish. Behind the house a little man has a pigeon loft. You can watch the birds circling and then hear him whistle them in - it's a wonderful sight.
This is the second time we have been to Tavira and it never ceases to surprise. At 5 pm all the locals gather to sit in the shade in the public gardens. As ever,the old ladies on one side and the old men on the other! Lots of little secret gardens and some lovely churches. We were able to get inside the Misericordia Church and see the amazing scenes depicted in the beautiful blue tiles. The Spring Mountain Fair was on again - lots of crafts and food etc and concerts in the Placa Republica. There was a real buzz to the place. We found some nice restaurants and a friendly bar. - what more could you want?
All in all, one of the best holidays we've had.
Carole and Ivan Neve.
