Saturday 10th August.

We had an early start to catch the ebb down the river. As we had time we left the Guadiana and headed 18 miles west to Tavira. We found an anchorage a short way up the river and took the dinghy to explore. If you like golden sands with wall to wall umbrellas, a row of beach bars, and a bass background beat then this is the place for you. We went to a fancy restaurant ashore and decided to leave when we could in the morning.
