To cycling is important to Tavira would be an understatement. For many years there has been a Professional Road touring team based in the city and to go out on the roads on a weekend you will come across the many hundreds of local cyclists blocking the road in front of you. However, it is now not only the locals because the area is perfect for enjoying time on a bike and you will find many visitors cycling around the roads lanes and hills getting to know the area or going to the shops. It is a perfect location for all ages as the coastal fringe is reletively flat. However, with the growth of electric bikes the interior hills are no trouble either.
