Came across a very nice campsite on my road 5 kms before Tavira named Campismo Ria Formosa in Cabanas. A surprising amount of people seem to stay here for months during winter from Oct to April. Mainly from England they either stay in their Mobil Homes or rent a Static one on site and sometimes rent a cabin. Many of them have gardens and are quite settled. It makes sense with temps falling rarely below 9 degrees, hot showers, many amenities and good company. They make friends and meet mornings for coffee, later for lunch and of course go out in the evenings. Affordable and pleasant. Most people have their bikes and many have a Smart Car for outings. There is a railway station a few minutes away with trains over to Spain or up to Faro etc.
Spent a day over in Tavira a nice town with a large river and several bridges including a Roman one. There are many beaches nearby of course but this week is not beach weather with frequent rain showers and not that warm. The bridge was strewn with herbs and little purple flowers so it smelt lovely to walk on it. I think it was from the churches on Sunday as I saw many women carrying those little bouquets as they went for their after Mass coffee or juice. Walked up to the castle gardens already in bloom.
