CONCEICAO-TAVIRA is the little village just 4 kms from Tavira and just 1km from Cabanas where our apartments are located.This picture is a typical east algarve cottage.Just a few hundred yards from our apartments.

The new 3 barrels pub with live music some nights is just 5 minutes walk from the apartments.Very popular,adding a new dimension to the holidays here.Scroll down to bottom to see pictures.There is now a public pool with-in sight of the apartments (about 200 yds as the crow flies).It has a restaurant and cafe and a public house called the hairy lemon.Very handy for anyone staying in our apartments.For a little village Conceicao now has just about everything holidaymakers could want.

It is a great little village 15-20 minutes from the Spanish border.In olden times it would have been an important stop off point for traffic going between Portugal and Spain.You can see this in the shops ,bars and restaurants either side of the now quiet road.The new road skirts the village so it is a lot quieter,cleaner and safer.It is now picturesque and a relaxing place to shop or mingle with the cafe and bar culture.

Everything you need is there,just 2 minutes walk from the apartments.Supermarket,bank,post office,local junta offices,cash point,chemist,small general stores,bars,cafes and restaurants.Sounds busy but is more sleepy without being dead.

There are lovely backstreets to wander.With lots of traditional and picturesque properties in typical portuguese architecture to admire and photograph.Follow the village eastwards and follow the road around to the right away from the new mainroad and you will soon find a nice countryside walk.With houses selling local produce and large orange groves.Feeling energetic and a 10 minute countryfied walk will take you down to Cabanas

Quite a few new apartments have been built without ruining the village.Nothing here can be built more than 3 storeys and the new buildings are architectually attractive.Built with wide open roads with lots of gardens;its future as a pleasant little place to stay in a great location is well assured.

With Cabanas just a leisurely 10 minutes walk you can saunter down to all the action at night but be away from the noise when sleep is needed.Last but not least you have the fantastic beaches of Cabanas which has made the area so popular with the Northern Portuguese.

CONCEICAO-TAVIRA this is the little railway station just 2 minutes walk from our apartments.This is very cheap to use and will take you just about anywhere on the algarve. It means you can have a holiday free of the car.Give it a go you will see a lot more.

Below a scene on the local golf course.If you do not play golf it makes a nice walk of 1.5 kilometers.

The scenery is superb making for a great afternoon stroll.You will have views of the Atlantic Ocean in one direction and the Algarve mountains in the other inland direction.For those who love their nature you will see a great many very mature trees in the gently rolling countryside.(p>You will find ancient Olive and Carob trees with gnarled trunks of great girth.Also you will find Almond trees which at certain times of the year are a mass of pure white blossom.Your walk could be greatly increased if you sride off the tarmac road and onto the rolling grassy slopes,avoiding the fairways and greens of the golfing areas.This could then be a good long countryside walk.

We come over to Portugal often as we have 2 rental apartments here (see them on the blue buttons on your left.Near top of the page)so we are always looking for inexpensive things to do to preserve our euros.So to find this walk was fantastic for us.There are plenty of other good walks around the village.

Another nice little walk is to the local pottery,which is well worth a visit on its own.It is probably just over 1 km walk

Leaving the apartment you walk up to the golf roundabout and head in the Faro direction.You will be on a busy main road but it is quite safe as on both sides of the road are cycle and Paedestrian lanes separating you from the traffic.You will go past the white water tower on the Benamor golf course and a lot of the walk is downhill.So uphill on the way back I am afraid,just tell yourself it will be good for you."Burn off some Calories"..
Either side of you is mainly wild countryside.You will cross a bridge and it is worth stopping here to admire the River/Stream depending on time of year.It meanders most attractively.
If you are patient you might spot some fish in the sparkling water and often ducks and other wildlife can be seen from the lofty position on the bridge.

You will be able to see the pottery up ahead now as the road is now flat and straight.You will need to cross the road now but you can do this quite safely if you do it on the straight section well before getting to the site.On this straight section you can see a long way in both directions.

The pottery is quite big and you will see an amazing amont of pots,cast animals,stone or concrete seats and tables,plus many large and small ststues.In fact just about everything for all size of gardens.

Outside is the larger stuff and inside more delicate plates and cups,bowls,egg cups and many traditional Portuguese pottery ware in the bright cheerfull colours they always use.
You will be able to have lunch and a nice drink in the pleasant cafeteria.Then around the back is a large netted shade tunnel full of bright flowers and plants.There is plenty to see and keep your interest even if you do not wish to buy.We always enjoy this walk and we think you might do to!
