Algarve

Britain’s leading guided walking tours operator, Ramblers Worldwide Holidays is offering an eight day holiday in Tavira, the Algarve with the benefit of staying at the 4-star Vila Galé. Tavira is amongst the most architecturally attractive towns in the Algarve with origins that date back to 2000 BC. The Moors occupied Tavira, which had a great importance because of its fishing industry. In 1755 an earthquake destroyed many of the buildings but the town was rebuilt with fine 18th Century buildings and a Roman bridge still 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 roads, eucalyptus, lavender, pine, fig and almond trees and Tavira’s expansive beaches. The 4-star hotel is centrally located in Tavira with excellent facilities and a friendly service. Price from £605 per person includes flights, transfers, half board accommodation in the 4-star Vila Galé and the services of a tour leader.
