TOWN:
Cabanas de Tavira, Portuguese for "Tavira's Huts", is a former fishing village on the east-southern coast of the Algarve, Portugal. With a little more than one thousand permanent residents, it has become a popular tourist destination in the summer because of its beautiful beach, Praia de Cabanas, located on an island just offshore (Ilha de Cabanas), which belongs to Ria Formosa Natural Park . Cabanas is a very recent freguesia, established in 1997. This freguesia belongs to the municipality of Tavira, the nearest major town.
The town is a long line of low-rise shops, bars and cafés facing the Ria Formosa with several hotel and apartment complexes scattered around the outskirts of the town. Moored fishing boats line the seafront, although the town's economy has drifted mainly towards tourism rather than fishing in recent years.
Cabanas de Tavira is also only a 20 minute drive from the Poruguese/Spanish borders and you can drive across the magnificent suspension bridge across the River Guadiana to view a traditional part of Spain where the Spanish come for their holidays.
There is a Railway Station at Cabanas (about 2 minutes walk from the appartment) from which you can travel the coast line of Algarve, from Vila Real Santo Antonio, an historic market town renowed for its linen next to the Spanish border, to Sagres.
From the station at Vila Real, you can walk to the River Guadiana and catch the ferry wich runs about every 20 minutes across to the Spanish town of Ayamont.
Transport
Several buses run from Tavira to Cabanas and back each day. The nearest train station is in nearby Conceição which is on the Tavira to Vila Real line.
Entertainment
Cabanas has a large number of bars, cafés and restaurants which run along the riverfront and are also dotted around a couple of blocks inland.
