Conceição

A small village just inland of Cabanas, with a historic parish church and quick access to the Tavira coast.

Conceição is a small village in the municipality of Tavira, a short way inland from the fishing village of Cabanas de Tavira. It is the centre of one of Tavira's oldest rural parishes, and its parish church, founded in the early 16th century, has a late-Gothic doorway framed by Renaissance-style columns.

There is not a great deal to see beyond the church, but the village makes a quiet, practical base. The lagoon, the water taxis to Ilha de Cabanas and the town of Tavira are all close by, and the surrounding countryside is a mix of orchards and smallholdings.
