Origin of the name Tavira
The city of Tavira, once during the Roman empire a secondary passing place of the important road between Balsa and Baesuris.
The name itself comes from Moorish influences, initially called Tabira (“the hidden”), although there are many variations according to popular History: Tabira, Tavila, Talabriga (You will find some restaurants and bars with these names there).
Instead of Tavira, there are funny misspellings that lead people to this site, having a look at the visits log from Google, Yahoo or MSN, the most common ones are: Tavera, Taviera, Taveira, Tavaria, Travira
If you used to write it in another funny way, let me know in the comments :)
