The Eastern Algarve is still comparatively undeveloped compared with the close neighbors Spain and central/western Algarve. Subsequently the whole region including the towns of Tavira and Olhao retain a charm that is nowadays rarely found in this part of Europe. Tavira itself boasts a 2000 year old Roman bridge! Within 8km of Quinta da Pegada can be found four of the best golf courses in east Algarve including Benamor Golf designed by Sir Henry Cotton, the new Jack Nicklaus-designed 'Monte Rei', and Quinta de Cima and Quinta da Ria, two courses side by side with views of the ocean and great challenges. For those that prefer being closer to nature the Ria Formosa Nature Reserve,a 60 Ha area of natural park stretching along the coastline from Olhao to Ilha de Tavira. This beautiful nature reserve is open to the public with well organized walking tours. Several beautiful beaches are only a 5-10 minute drive away. Included are Manta Rota and Praia de Barrill where warm, safe waters exist.
