Keep a little mystery in your trip planning: Explorer Picture Mode shows a stylized version of every place instead of the real photo, so you can go by the description and reviews first and picture it your own way -- reveal the real photo any time by flipping the switch off, or just for one place at a time from its own page.

Tavira sits on the banks of the Gilão River nearby the point where it flows into the Atlantic Ocean. Tavira is a lovely town in East Algarve, home to beautiful 18th-century mansions and townhouses that are lining the river banks. They give an elegant atmosphere to Tavira and are the ideal spot for an evening stroll along the waterfront and open-air dining. The town of Tavira has a unique architectural element, its hipped roofs, that together with the dozens of historic churches define the old town's landscape.
