Thanks Joe for putting them on for me x
We were always busy making kitchens/garden furniture/sunbeds etc..the only place we got to for a rest was up at Rocha Brava, where we ate our lunch ....they are gorgeous beaches!

The coast between Tavira and the Spanish border is actually very beautiful and less commercialized than other parts of the Algarve. Certainly worth exploring.

Indeed. In fact there are a couple in my "East to West" section: CLICK HERE. Each are mentioned in the text and can be found on the map (click on it when you have clicked on Click Here).

WE had a couple of weeks at Monte Rota, which is between Tavira and the border. The beach is huge but gets packed with locals at the weekends and bank holidays.

This one is very similar to the one above - if anyone cares to guess which beach it is

That beach looks just like Sea Palling in Norfolk..........

Not for me....I just love the cliffs and the dramatic and beautiful coves in our part of the Algarve.

I looked at Tavira when I purchased my place in Cvo - spent 3 days there looking around and decided that it was not the place for me. I wouldn't bother going overnight there unless I was visiting friends - but definitely would visit the waterfall (as I said earlier) - and it is not that far.

However, visiting Lisbon is definitely worth an overnight stay - lots to see and do and a bit more "culture" which is fun for a few days.

Thanks We'll probably just make up a picnic and go for the day then, looks a nice place to visit. Looking foward to Lisbon, we wanted to go there last time we were over but didnt have enough time, went to gibraltar for the day, wouldnt do that again without staying over. was a bit much for just one driver.


Cant wait to come over!! Feels like so long away tho

Lisbon certainly is well worth a visit, as is Porto. We have spent several long weekends there and last year flew up to Porto from Faro, returning to Faro the following day. Ryanair fly daily from their base at Faro and you can pick up some real bargains. We did it for 9 euros each, each way!

Sounds a good idea!! Plenty of options for us
