Clube de Tavira

Tavira is one of the architecturally most attractive towns in ththe Algarve. Its origin dates back 8 century BC, and during

th ththe Moorish occupation, between the 8 and 13 centuries

AD, agriculture and fishing were of great importance. Tavira

was under Arab rule until its conquest by the Knights of the

Order of Santiago, D. Paio Peres Correia, in 1242. It was

elevated to a city in 1520 by King Manuel I and it was the

main trading port, in Algarve, exporting salted fish, as well

as dried fruits (almonds and figs), wine and other products, threaching distant ports of Italy and Flanders, during the 16 ,

th th17 and 18 centuries.

After the earthquake in 1755 the town has been rebuilt with thmany fine 18 Century buildings. The surroundings of

Tavira are still very rural but slowly changing due to the

demands of tourist industry with three golf courses, where

the tourists can play all the year, with wonderful weather.

The beach can only be reached by a ferryboat that takes the

visitor to “Ilha de Tavira”. It lies 25 Km from the Spanish

border and 180Km from Seville (Spain).
