Tavira, Algarve, Portugal - Tourism Information The study of the Conquest Chronicles of the Algarve indicates that Tavira is taken from the moors in 1242 by D. Paio Peres Correia as a reprisal for the treacherous murder of 7 of his knights while hunting near the settlement. The importance of Tavira resulted ever then from its privilleged port location, which is confirmed in 1282 by D. Dinis, when he bestows rights and privileges on the alcaide and seamen of Tavira equal to those of Lisbon. Tavira`s importance until the end of the 16th century was further reinforced and maintained by traditional fishing activity associated with maritime trade based on salted fish exports, as well as dried fruits (almonds, figs), wine and other products, reaching distant ports of Italy and Flanders. www.portugalvirtual.pt /_tourism/algarve/tavira/ukhistory.html   (1073 words)
