Surfing

Surfers from around the world converge on the west coast beaches, notably Praia do Armado and Praia da Arrifana.
Tavira National Forest (Mata Nacional)

Fine, panoramic views characterize an easy to moderate walk, the start/finish point of which is only accessible by car. The 8-km (5-mile) track snakes its way through beautiful rolling countryside, fording two small streams and passing the diminutive villages of Malhada de Peres and Daroeira.
Tavira Ria formosa Boat Tours

Ria Formosa, a true sanctuary of nature. Privileged place to observe birds, by being a migratory corridor containing some of the last places in the Europe for some birds to make nests, Ria Formosa is visited annually by about 30 thousand birds from different spices.

We will be looking for the birds that usually visit the estuary.

During this tour we will get to see a still ecological and sustainable salt economy - using traditional methods which are 2000 years old.http://www.sequatours.com/

The Old Course, Vilamoura

A mature course of classic British design, opened in 1969 and still revered today. Endowed with mostly narrow, pine tree-lined fairways, the only lake is on the 4th, where the tee shot must clear not only the water but also a large pine and bunker hugging the green.
