The exterior is simple, but inside you'll find religious art from the 16th to the 18th centuries, including a Baroque altarpiece of Our Lady of Carmo. The church is located near Praça Dr. António Padinha.

Scenic Country Road Near Tavira

Highlight • Cycleway

Little traffic in the hinterland of the Algarve make this area an Eldorado for racing cyclists. The roads are mostly in good condition and it can happen that you hit just 5 cars in 2 hours. The landscape is spectacular and very hilly. At 50 km, there are 600 vertical meters and more. Only barking dogs are sometimes frightening. If necessary, stop and bend down for a stone. Then take them out.
