Porta Nova Hotel. Tavira is the cultural capital of the Algarve, situated only 30km from the Spanish border, close to the sea and blessed with an idyllic island where only the sound of the breaking waves interrupts the silence. The town permits an encounter with history to those who visit it. From the churches of the ancient centre, where preservation has been in constant harmony with the surroundings, it allows the visitor to encounter other motives of interest apart from the usual offer of sun and beaches. Hotel is situated on a hilly area.
