Cachopo
Local tips
The Sausage Fair in January-February is the event of the year — smoked sausages, medronho, and mountain crafts. In spring, the wildflowers are extraordinary. Combine with the Museological Nucleus to understand life in the mountains. Cachopo is probably the best gateway to the deep Algarve.

Cabanas de Tavira
A tranquil and welcoming village by Ria Formosa, ideal for those seeking a calmer and more authentic Algarve. The waterfront promenade along the lagoon is perfect for walking in the late afternoon, with views over the salt pans and the island in front. Cabanas maintains the spirit of a genuine coastal community, with good fish and seafood restaurants.

Ilha de Cabanas
Barrier island of Ria Formosa connected to the Cabanas area by a regular boat service, more discreet and less frequented than the neighboring Ilha de Tavira. The beach is extensive, with fine sand and clear waters, and the feeling of isolation is almost total. The lagoon side offers calm and warm waters, perfect for bathing with children.

Cachopo Museum
Museum inaugurated in 2000 in the former Casa dos Cantoneiros, featuring the exhibition 'Life in the Mountains'. It is part of the Municipal Museum of Tavira and is managed in partnership with the Parish Council of Cachopo. The exhibition is divided into three sections: 'Cachopo Through Time' (history of settlement), 'The Mountains and Life' (coexistence between humans and nature), and 'Work and Daily Life' (everyday life, domestic work, and crafts). An ethnographic focus that preserves and promotes the traditional culture of the mountains from prehistory to the present.
