The lovely region of Tavira, Portugal

Portugal has many charms and is ideal for a relaxed walking and rambling holiday – and when better than at a special price with Ramblers?

Ramblers Worldwide Holidays is offering an eight days’ long, luxury holiday staying at the 4-star Vila Galé in Algarve.

Tavira is one of the most architecturally attractive towns in the Algarve and has origins that date back to 2000 BC.

The Moors occupied Tavira, which had great importance for them because of its fishing industry.

In 1755, an earthquake destroyed many of the buildings but the town was rebuilt with fine 18th Century buildings; a Roman bridge remains across the river Gilâo, which links two parts of the town.

The walks in the nearby countryside are glorious, embracing a wide range of flora, including rock roses, eucalyptus, lavender, pine, fig and almond trees.

And inbetween walking, you can relax on Tavira’s long, sandy beaches.

The 4-star hotel is centrally located in Tavira with excellent facilities and a friendly service.

Price start at £605 per person and include flights, transfers and half board accommodation in the 4-star Vila Galé plus the services of a tour leader.
