Camera Obscura or Tower of Tavira is to be found up the hill near the castle in Tavira. It is situated in an old disused water tower, built in 1931. Accessibility is by lift or the stairs, which encase the lift and then a small walkway to the doors of the Tower. There are the old steps up the side of the Tower but not recommended.
The cost of this experience is 3-50 euro.
The visit inside the Tower takes about 15 minutes, and at the most there would be 15 people inside, so not too bad for space, though when you go inside the lights are on and the inside of the old water tower is both strange and wonderful. When the lights are switched out, and warning is given you are in total darkness for a few seconds.
The Camera Obscura in Tavira is the first of it's kind in the Algarve.
It works by mirrors, lenses, pullies, a very large ...
Advantages: Small and friendly Disadvantages: None for us.
TAVIRA a small town on the Algarve, this is a very quiet place so if looking for Night Life , look elsewhere.
If you are looking for Peace and Quiet and the Beauty of Nature then come to Tavira.
Fly into FARO Airport, usually at the time of year we go, Early January for a pickmeup after the Xmas and New Year, I am disappointed if we have to pay more than £50 return on Easyjet from either East Midlands or Stansted.
The flight times are good for us From East Mids normally 06:30 departure. Arrives FARO about 09:15.
Tavira is located about 24 Kilometers towards the Spanish Boarder.
We book our Transfer thru WWW.AUTO-FARO.COM
They charge 40 Euros each way for the 4 of us. No extra charges that is what you pay even if flight late.
They are very good and friendly, the Taxi driver will give you a little tour of Tavira ...
Advantages: Everything you want for the after Christmas rush Disadvantages: None
they don?t seem to bother you as they are up and out in the morning before you even think of breakfast.
The town of Tavira is very quaint. We went on a horse and landau ride round the town that was very pleasant.
You may see the men fishing in the main river for shall fish at low tide, but even at high tide it is very shallow.
The eateries are mainly fish though as a non fish eater, I found plenty to eat, at O Patio which has a very good selection.
You must go across the straight to the sand split, which they say is the largest in Europe, and we walked for a couple of hours and the only company on the beach were 4 people in the distance. They do say you can walk all the way to Faro on the split, not willing to try yet. It?s a place to go to walk and walk and just look at the sea, but remember to take some water with you as ...
