About Cabanas de Tavira
Cabanas de Tavira is a fishing village that decided not to grow too much. A waterfront promenade with small taverns where the fish still arrives in the morning. Fresh seafood served without haste. Sunsets that look painted. A rhythm slow enough to make the first few days an exercise in slowing down.
Historic Tavira is 8 minutes by car; Faro is 50. But in Cabanas is where you stay — for everything else, there's no time.
