Stopover: Tavira, Nazaré, Faro District, Portugal
Tavira is one of the most enchanting cities in the Algarve, Portugal, known for its tranquil atmosphere, historical richness, and stunning natural scenery. Situated between the sea and the mountains along the Gilão River, Tavira is often called the “City of Churches,” due to the impressive number of historic churches within its territory.
Key highlights of Tavira:
Ancient origins: Tavira’s roots date back to around 2000 BC, when it was colonized by the Phoenicians, making it one of the oldest cities in the country.
Roman and Moorish influences: During Roman times, Tavira thrived as a commercial center. Moreover, between the 8th and 13th centuries, it was under Arab rule, known as Tabira, a prosperous and well-fortified city. The current name derives from the Arabic “the hidden.”
Christian Reconquista: In 1242, Tavira was conquered by the master of the Order of Santiago, D. Paio Peres Correia, becoming part of the Kingdom of Portugal. Shortly after, in 1266, it received its first charter, spurring economic and social development.
Apogee and Architecture: The economic peak came in the 16th century, when Tavira became a key port for exporting salt, fish, and agricultural products. Many churches and convents were built during this time, such as the Church of Misericordia, Convent of Nossa Senhora da Graça, and several others. City of Churches: Tavira boasts over 20 churches, each with unique architectural and historical features, attracting art and religious architecture enthusiasts.

Stopover: Huelva, Andalusia, Spain
Huelva is a vibrant city in the southwest of Spain, located in the Andalusia region, near the border with Portugal and washed by the Atlantic. Although less touristy than other Andalusian capitals, Huelva offers a unique charm, rich history, and a welcoming atmosphere.
Key features of Huelva:
Huelva was a Roman colony known as Onuba and played a crucial role during the Age of Exploration. Christopher Columbus departed from here to discover America in 1492. The city preserves monuments such as the colossal Columbus statue (34 meters high) and the Monastery of La Rábida, where the explorer stayed before his expedition.

Culinary: Renowned for fresh seafood, especially shellfish, easily found in bars and restaurants near the harbor.
Museums: The Museum of Huelva, Zenobia-Juan Ramón House-Museum, and the Diocesan Museum of Sacred Art are great for culture enthusiasts.
Nature: The region is home to the Doñana National Park, nearly untouched beaches of the Costa de la Luz, and trails in the Sierra de Aracena. It’s a paradise for those seeking tranquility and beautiful landscapes.
Accessibility: Huelva is accessible by train from Seville (about 1.5 hours) and is also close to Faro Airport in Portugal.
