Destination write-up
Here’s the write-up that features on your print.
On the banks of the Gilão River, where church towers rise above whitewashed rooftops, Tavira unfolds with quiet grace. This is the Algarve at its most gentle, a town shaped by Moorish hands and Roman roads, where the pace softens and the light turns everything to gold.
Cross the seven-arched Roman bridge that has linked the town's two banks for centuries, and climb to the hilltop castle for views over terracotta roofs and salt pans stretching to the sea. Count the churches, said to number twenty-one, from Santa Maria do Castelo to the Misericórdia's carved doorway. Beyond the town, the Ilha de Tavira offers pale dunes and Atlantic waves, reached by a short ferry across the lagoon.
Beyond its monuments, Tavira lives by the rhythms of the Ria Formosa, its waters yielding clams, oysters, and salt harvested as it has been for generations. Linger in a riverside café as fishermen unload the morning catch, and let the scent of grilled sardines drift through the narrow streets.
Print size & quality
Every piece is printed on thick, 175gsm fine-art matte paper with archival inks — so the colours stay rich, deep and true for years, with no fading and no fuss. Before it heads your way, it's wrapped in soft tissue to keep it scratch-free and sent out in a sturdy kraft tube or a robust triangular kraft box (never plastic).
Available sizes
Framing options
Fancy it ready to hang? Add a solid pine frame — sturdy, handsome and built to last. Take your pick from black, natural wood, or white. Each one is 20–25mm deep and 10–14mm wide: the sweet spot between strength and understated good looks.
We finish every frame with shatterproof, crystal-clear plexiglass to keep your print pristine — and it arrives already framed, so it goes straight from the box to your wall with no faff.
Framing is available for these sizes: A4, A3, A2, A1, 8x10, 11x14, 12x16, 12x18, 16x20, 18x24, 20x28, 24x32, 24x36 and 28x40.
