Possibly if you have been to the Algarve you heard about “Folclore Algarvio”. Here is a video/slideshow of Tavira with typical folk music in the background. It’s almost like you are there… if you understand what they are saying you’ll have a good laugh :)

Poll started in May 1st 2008

Well, a new poll is also in and this time is a bit more subjective. What do you most like about Tavira? Is it because it’s different from the most cities in the Algarve Region? …Or because it’s touristically unspoilled? Maybe you can’t stop thinking about the gastronomy… or the wonderful surrounding beaches…

…or maybe it’s even something else.

So don’t be shy and cast your vote, and if you are not happy with the choices given leave a comment here and tell us what you most like about Tavira.
