One of the best places to savour the many delights of the traditional, unspoiled Algarve is Tavira – a wonderful combination of coast, beach, old villages and beautiful countryside.  Ramblers Worldwide Holidays – the experts in guided walking adventures across the globe – is offering a 7 or 11 day holiday to this stunning destination which, because of its natural beauty has earned its reputation as 'The Pearl of the Algarve'

Situated about a mile from the sea this ancient fishing town is protected from the eroding ocean by a labyrinth of sand bars. Walks are aplenty in the town itself and Tavira Island with its fabulous beaches. Other highlights include, coastal villages like Santa Luzia, Cabanas and Cacela Velha; peaks like Zimbral, offering panoramic views, well-worn trails past smallholdings and villas; intricate patchworks of orange and olive groves, carob, pine, cork and oak orchards interspersed with a magnificent array of wild flowers.

Tavira itself is a veritable 'feast of delights' with its Ponta Romana bridges on the Rio Sequa; intriguing narrow streets between whitewashed buildings and at its centre, the lovely Praça da Republica Square – the perfect place to sip the regions fine vino and people watch.

Price from £849 per person includes return flights, transfers, half-board accommodation at the 4 star Hotel Vila Gale (for some departures) or 4 star Hotel Porta Nova in Tavira and the services of a dedicated tour leader. Departures from 18 September 2016
