I went to Tavira a couple of years ago and it's one of the most beautiful places I've ever been. Anywhere else you recommend in Portugal?

 

For vacations, besides Algarve of course, I would recommend the west coast, which has fantastic beaches and landscapes. The coast of Alentejo is pretty nice too, with beaches carved in the rocks, also calmer than Algarve.

 

Algarve is way too gentrified right now. I go there 1 week a year to have the best possible beach experience you can have here, but that's it.

 

In the northern part of Portugal I would recommend you to visit the Douro region, which has absolutely stunning views around the river where Porto wine is made. The north is way more green, people are nicer, food is better, compared to the south. Gerês is a fantastic natural reservoir.

 

If you like history, monasteries and castles, I would recommend places like Guimarães, Óbidos, Lisboa, Batalha/Alcobaça. Most of them are kind of related with British history as well as many troops fought and settled here after episodes like the Aljubarrota battle of 1385, or the French invasions.
