For us, Tavira was a town for leisurely walks and sitting on park benches. We didn’t go inside any one of the twenty-two churches (!!) in town nor the museum. We left town on Wednesday morning on our way to our next stop.

We’ll remember our quirky room in this former chapel (ours was the door on the left);

The simple and delicious tapas meals;

And the sun setting over the River Gilao.

Wednesday we grabbed some ham, cheese and butter sandwiches as we left town on our way to Cadiz. The roads were good and the trip uneventful until we arrived in Cadiz. It’s not the sleepy town we remembered from a visit during a fall trip in the middle of the pandemic in 2021.

Now, it’s a bustling cruise port with mucho traffic. We managed to return the rental car and find our apartment near the city center. The apartment is small, quiet, and well-equipped and we will be comfortable here for the next few days. We are happy to be be back in Cadiz!
