The sultry beauty of coastal cities

Have breakfast at the cosy Pastelaria Veneza coffee shop. This institution will help to charge energy for the first half of the day, as well as raise the mood of a romantic atmosphere: a pleasant view of the river and the city, pleasant music, friendly waiters.

Not far from the café is one of Tavira's brightest attractions, the small snow-white church of Santa Maria do Castelo, with its bell tower overlooking the town. The church is a national architectural monument with unique stylistic features. The building was built on the site of a former mosque in the era of Arab domination. This fact has not been proved archaeologically, but historical sources claim that this place was the main mosque of Tavira.
