The last stretch on foot, it wouldn't have been possible with an e-bike. Unfortunately, I didn't make it all the way down because I was concerned about getting back up - not even 10 years ago that would have been a no-brainer. But with the slippery path and without hiking poles, I have to be fair to my age (71) and physical condition. But the view down to the pond and the young people bathing there was worth it alone... however, I couldn't see the waterfall from up there.

It's definitely worth stopping here, and even taking a break. Unfortunately, the church is often closed, and the "fortress" next to it is also inaccessible.

Tavira is a beautiful coastal town on Portugal's Algarve coast. It lies on the Gilão River, which flows into the sea via estuaries and lagoons in the Ria Formosa Natural Park. Tavira Island boasts a long sandy beach and salt flats that attract flamingos, spoonbills, and other wading birds. The medieval Castelo de Tavira is located in the town center and offers panoramic views. The Church of Santa María do Castelo houses the tombs of seven knights killed by the Moors. The town has many charming restaurants, bars, cafes, and shops!
