General:
The Eastern Algarve is known to be the most unspoilt part of the Algarve. It has long sandy beaches and the inside country invites you to discover the small villages integrated in the never ending hills.
Tavira and the Ria Formosa:
At 15’ drive from Altura is situated the beautiful town Tavira, described by many as the most charming place of the Algarve. You can easily enjoy a full day walking around and relax on one of the 'praças' or next to the river on the terraces of the restaured 'praça velha'. You can also go to '4-aguas' (four waters) and take the boat to the island 'Ilha de Tavira' where you will find a never ending beach and good accomodation (bars, restaurants, camping, red cross,...).
Cabanas (de Tavira) – at 10' – is a very sympathetic fisher village where you have to take a small boat to cross the lagune and get to the beach.
One holiday - 2 countries ::
The Spanish border is only 10’ drive from Altura. You will be able to visit another country and discover the difference of culture, people, language and tradition!
A visit to Sevilla – one of the most beautiful towns of the world - belongs to the possibilities since it is only 1,5hr drive from your place!
Golf:
Golf players have a large choice of golf courses : Benamor Golf and Castro Marim Golf Club - both quite new - are at 10’ drive. A brandnew double Golf Course (2 x 18 holes) - Quinta da Ria - is only at 5’ and opened summer 2002.
The Golf courses near Vilamoura can be reached by the motorway in about 45 minutes.
You will find a complete map with more touristic and practical information in the villa.
