A former journalist, foreign correspondent, editor and wine producer. I still write a bit and still drink wine, but most of my time these days is spent welcoming visitors to my hometown, Tavira. As this small city is one of the most beautiful in Portugal, with a rich cultural and architectural heritage, amazing sandy beaches, great food and a laid-back day-to-day rhythm, I consider myself extremely lucky...

From the Bernardas Convent you can walk easily to most places in town. This beautifully restored historical monument is close to Tavira's bustling municipal market, Tavira's castle, multiple churches and museums, the ferryboat that will take you to Tavira island and its beaches, plus the shops, bars, cafés and restaurants are a pleasant stroll away.
