Cabanas De Tavira
Cabanas de Tavira (; Portuguese for ''"cottages/huts of Tavira"'') is a former civil parish in the municipality of Tavira, Portugal. In 2013, the parish merged into the new parish Conceição e Cabanas de Tavira. The parish covers an area of approximately 4.2 km², and encompasses a resident population of approximately 1181 inhabitants. Once a fishing port, it is now a popular summer tourist destination, owing to its beach (Praia de Cabanas) and island (Ilha de Cabanas), which belong to the Ria Formosa Nature Park. History The history of Cabanas is connected to the commercial tuna fishery.

These huts were located along the beach, and the locals began to refer to them as the ''cabanas da armação'' (''tackle huts''). For over twenty years there were references ...
