CABANAS DE TAVIRA HAS TO BE ONE OF THE MOST MAGICAL AND POPULAR FISHING VILLAGES ON THE ALGARVE.FOR MANY YEARS IT HAS BEEN THE SECRET HOLIDAY DESTINATION OF THE NORTHERN PORTUGUESE FROM LISBON AND PORTO.MORE RECENTLY THE GERMAN TOURISTS FOUND IT AND NOW IT IS BECOMING A VERY POPULAR DESTINATION FOR THE ENGLISH AND IRISH IT IS SITUATED IN THE VERY POPULAR NATURE RESERVE OF THE RIA FORMOSA.SO IS A POPULAR DESTINATION FOR NATURE LOVERS,WALKERS AND CYCLISTS.IT IS ALSO A REGULAR MEETING PLACE FOR MOBILE CARAVAN OWNERS AND CAMPERS AND INDEED HAS A TOP QUALITY CAMPING SITE WITH A SUPER SWIMMING POOL. CABANAS IS SITUATED ON A LAGOON MAKES IT QUITE UNIQUE AND CALMING.A LAGOON IS WHERE A RIVER INSTEAD OF FLOWING STRAIGHT INTO THE SEA HAS TURNED AND RUN PARALLEL TO THE OCEAN.SO YOU HAVE THE RIVER AND THEN MILES OF SANDBANKS ON THE OCEAN SIDE,ACTING AS A GIANT BREAKWATER. Photograph below shows the colourfull shopfronts and cafes along the waterfront of CABANAS.There are many cafes and retaurants to choose from stretched end to end following the boardwalk edging the lagoon waters.The cars are restricted to shorter parking bays and so are not a blight all the way along the waterfront.I guess cars have to be allowed to park somewhere,heaven forbid they should have to walk from a dedicated car park either end of the waterfront.They do at least shut the waterfront road down at night when the parties and displays and discos are raging away.The street is for the revellers then,which is to be commended.I have to say it is fabulous at night with many forms of entertainment happening.They even have circuses to entertain the tourists.This is a really busy little spot during the summer months and the season is now stretching from June through to the end of October.September and October are very popular now as it is mostly wall to wall sunshine but the worst heat of August has dwained a little by now but the party atmosphere goes on.

HISTORY. As far as is known CABANAS village did not exist at all untill about 1757.It is thought fishermen started using the area around the 1730's.To start with they were not inhabiting the spot and just built some huts to store their fishing gear Then around 1757 it is thought a few decided to live there and built their homes ,alongside the lagoon.Cabanas apparently means huts.Fishing was the only trade through the following centuries and still practiced to this day.Untill the 1900's when the first tourists started arriving. First places to accomodate tourists were built in the 1950's.So no great historical seafaring past but I think this is why it is such a gentle relaxing place today.(No bad vibes!) THE BEACHES HERE ARE SECOND TO NONE CONSISTING OF MILES OF GOLDEN SAND,MAKING PLENTY OF ROOM FOR BEACH LOVERS TO SPREAD OUT.ALTHOUGH THE RIVER IS SHALLOW THE BEACHES ARE REACHED VIA A SMALL FERRY TAKING ONE ACROSS THE CALM RIVER WATERS.THUS CREATING A UNIQUE ASPECT FOR THE TOURIST AND MAKING IT EXTREMELY POPULAR AND A PLACE PEOPLE RETURN TO TIME AND TIME AGAIN.
It IS A QUAINT PORTUGUESE FISHING VILLAGE AND THUS CAN BE QUITE EXPENSIVE TO PURCHASE A HOLIDAY HOME.IF YOU CAN AFFORD THE PRICES OR ARE LUCKY ENOUGH TO SNATCH A BARGAIN YOU WILL BE BUYING IN AN AREA THAT IS ON THE UP.
MUCH MONEY IS BEING SPENT ON UPGRADING THE SEAFRONT AND IT IS DEFINITELY GOING TO MOVE UPMARKET.IF YOU ARE EVEN TOYING WITH THE IDEA OF PURCHASING A PROPERTY ABROAD,GIVE THIS PLACE SOME SERIOUS CONSIDERATION. PORTUGAL IS ONE OF THE BEST BETS FOR BUYING PROPERTY ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.THE LEGAL SYSTEM IS SKEWED HEAVILY TO PROTECTING BUYERS AND AS LONG AS YOU MAKE CERTAIN YOU HAVE A LEGITIMATE LISCENSED SOLICITOR YOU WILL BE WELL PROTECTED NOW PORTUGAL IS IN THE EUROPEAN UNION YOU WANT TO LOOK CAREFULLY AT PLUMBING AND ELECTRICS AND GAS IN ANY PROPERTY.THE RULES PRE EU WERE A LITTLE LAX AND YOU COULD FIND YOURSELF WITH BIG PROBLEMS IN THESE AREAS.BUY POST YEAR 2000 OR CHECK WHETHER THESE FACILITIES HAVE BEEN UPGRADED.IF NOT YOU SHOULD MAKE SURE IN ANY NEGOTIATIONS THAT YOU ALLOW FOR UPGRADING THE GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION MAKES PORTUGAL ONE OF THE SAFEST BETS.STUCK RIGHT OUT ON THE EDGE OF EUROPE IT IS NOT STRATEGICALLY IMPORTANT IN ANY WARS THERE MAY BE IN THE FUTURE.IT AMAZES ME THAT PEOPLE EVEN CONSIDER BUYING IN CENTRAL AND EASTERN EUROPEAN LOCATIONS PROPERTY IS NOT IN MY OPIMION OVERPRICED AND HAS RIDDEN OUT THE DEPRESSION A LOT BETTER THAN MANY OTHER LOCATIONS AND IS LIKELY TO BE ONE OF THE BEST COUNTRIES TO INVEST IN AS THE WORLD ECONOMY PICKS UP.YOU WOULD BE FOOLISH TO IGNORE POTUGAL WHEN LOOKING FOR PROPERTY INVESTMENTS.JUST MAKE SURE YOU NEGOTIATE HARD AND GET THE RIGHT DEAL.WALK AWAY FROM OVERPRICED DEALS WHERE NO NEGOTIATION IS EVEN CONSIDERED,NO MATTER HOW TEMPTING THE PROPERTY IS.
View of the new Marina,which has made the town even more popular.Set on the peaceful waters of the sun kissed lagoon.The local Camara have spent an impressive amount of money improving what was a lovely resort anyway.They will never ruin it as has been done to much of the West Algarve.Updated and tourist friendly but still with its timeless atmosphere;inviting you to "chill out". It has become very clear this summer 2011 that people on holiday are having to be more cost concious.Certainly life is a lot harder for families ,so anything that helps to decrease costs but help towards a good time,people need to know about. Whilst walking around CABANAS DE TAVIRA,we came across a new remarkable take-away,tucked 150 metres up a side street.Called Casa Quinze it is owned by Mac and Val,Mac was taking a cooling break as we passed and greeted us in a frienly manner.We found out that they make their own burgers from quaity beef,which is great news as often the burgers in Portugal are Hamburers.Personally I hate hamburgers as I cannot eat pork these days. Their menu includes,Chinese curries..chicken 6 euros....beef 6 euros....Prawn 7.95 euros...vegetable 5.50 euros. Also they do various Indian take-aways,such as Madras and Korma using chicken,lamb,Prawns and Vegetable.Prices for Indian take-away are from 6.90 to 7.95.Bear in mind he told us he sources all his meat from a highly repected English butcher in Portugal,these prices are reasonable for quality and would give a considerable saving on visiting a restaurant.We can well understand many families just cannot entertain restaurant meals in these difficult times. Other foods they cook are a half chicken for 4.50 and a whole chicken 8 euros.Pork ribs are 6.50 euros,these come with a selection of sauces such as Chinese barbeque,Texan barbeque,Chilli and garlic and honey.Then they do Fried King Prawns a half kilo for 9.75 euros.Again choose from a good range of mouthwatering sauces such as Thai butter,sweet chilli and lemon,piri piri and garlic and herb.We hope we can order some take-away before we leave CABANAS so we can report from first hand experience.We do know at this moment they are spotlessly clean both the premises and the hosts themselves.Unfortuneately they say at the moment they are unable to do deliveries but hope to next year.
Above picture is of an exclusive apartment complex named Cabanas Village Cabanas Village Complex is on the walk from our apartments down to the front of Cabanas.This is a great walk in its own right.being a steady 10 minutes walk down to the front.The beach itself is another 5- 10 minutes walk along the boardwalk running right alongside the lagoon.The lovely beach is across the far side of the lagoon.It is reached via the taxi boats which run people across the lagoon untill about 7 o'clock if I remember rightly. You could though just walk to the front and relax with a drink or meal in one of the many lagoon side cafes and bars.It makes for a cheap day when you want to preserve your euros.It makes a really relaxing and enjoyable day or afternoon if you feel like a lie-in in the morning.I never get fed up of this walk down to the village. Below is another scene on the walk down to CABANAS.This is just before you get into the village of CABANAS and is right on the outskirts.
Scenes like the above can be seen often on the walk down from the apartments.There is so much of interest and worth photographing.There are quite a few different routes you can find down to the fishing village.We go here four times per year and never run out of interest and things to do and places to see.One couple who stayed recently were taking train trips all along the Algarve even as far as Silves.The train is great fun and is very cheap to use.I am sure it would be really exciting for children. This summer 2011 has seen a distinct lack of British booking rental property.We had hardly any British enquiries for July and August.My searching has shown most have been booking package holidays especially those with all in prices.I imagine this can be quite boring though as you have very little freedom.I may be wrong but I think it is a fad that will pass.The hotels cannot keep supplying top quality accommodation and food for knock down prices.They have to make decent profits to keep the hotels to a decent standard.Something will have to give. For us summer 2011 bookings have been mainly Dutch and Spanish.We get lots of Portuguese enquiries but no bookings.They seem to want to pay when they turn up in CABANAS or CONCEICAO.We refuse to do business in such a dodgy way.They can turn up and refuse to pay and then you have lost that week or weeks.We have known property owners to whom this has happened.Another thing is neither side is protected by a proper contract,so problems could be big if accidents or damage occur.They can wreck your apartment and just disappear and there would be nothing the owner could do about it. There has been an unexpected upside to all this as we have found the British are booking in their droves for september which is much cheaper.There is still plenty going on in CABANAS and CONCEICAO in september and the weather is still generally hot but not blazing as it is in July and August.So we are not complaining about trade for this year.
