Groceries

Cabanas, all within walking distance 

Spar Supermarket : large choice of groceries, daily fresh bread (open 8-20). Walk out the back entrance, down the street, left then right around the primary school. 

Butcher (Talho) : take a right at the Spar, then first left, 50 m on your left side. There is also a small fish shop close to the butcher. 

 

Supermarkets

Larger supermarkets in and around Tavira. We prefer Continente in the Centro Commercial (shopping mall, large covered parking space), or Pingo Doce on the N 125 to Tavira, just past the first roundabout after crossing the Gilao River. One roundabout further on you have Aldi.  

 

Mercado Municipal

Fresh fish, meat, vegetables and fruit as well as herbs, honey and other local produce.  Very small one in Cabanas on the boardwalk just before Sabores da Ria restaurant. Larger market in Tavira, go past the Shopping Mall, take a left past the next roundabout, market is just after the bridge, lots of parking available. Flee market on Saturdays!  

 

 

The real shopping

Tavira Gran-Plaza : good mix of stores and a cinema! Not the largest, but your basic needs for holiday shopping.

 

Faro

MAR Shopping Algarve : between Loulé and Faro, near the highway exit 13.  Here you find IKEA, Leroy Merlin and all the well known brands in shopping.

Forum Algarve : more of the same, but here you also find Decathlon (separate building).
