5Tavira, Portugal
The Algarve is famous for golden beaches and tourist-packed resorts, but Tavira remains one of its best-kept secrets.
This small city blends Moorish architecture, whitewashed houses, and cobbled squares with a laid-back pace of life. Tavira Island’s sandy stretches are perfect for sunbathing, while the old Roman bridge connects the past with the present. It’s a seaside town with soul, far removed from mass tourism.
