In the rain we came inside and were charmed by the 8 min video of Tavira's Islamic past. Very interesting.
Small museum telling the history of Tavira under the Moors. Mostly artefacts but with reasonably good info (we were given an English translation in a laminated book at reception). Not too pricy, and nice way to spend an hour or so. The temporary exhibition on...More
