Tavira is a city in [[Faro]], in [[The Algarve]] region of [[Portugal]], close to the Spanish border. It is steeped in Roman history. It has a river running through it, called the Rio Gilhāo. ## Population As of 2011: Total: 26,167 Density: 43/km2 (110/sq mi) [^wiki] ## Housing in Tavira 2 BR/2 BA for 169.000 € ## My impressions Tavira is a bit like [[Maastricht]]-- it has a river running through it and has old-world charm... but it's not as well-maintained. Could be a good place to live, but it's too similar to Maastricht for us to consider seriously. On the plus side, it's very close to [[Spain]]! [^wiki]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tavira
