in the last weekLa ida bastante puntual. El barco es grande. Perfecto para ir con carros de niños o neveras, sillas etc de playa. Sale del centro de Tavira por lo que son 20 min de trayecto. La vuelta fijados los horarios a y media y en punto, un descontrol total. Estuve a las 16 y 23. A y media llegó otro barco de la compañía algo más pequeño que era para un grupo concreto. Hasta pasadas las 17 no salió el siguiente. La cola era tan larga ya que la mitad por lo menos al sol. No cabían en la sombra del muelle.

in the last weekGood service, but at certain times it gets very crowded with travelers. It would also be advisable to provide some shade to escape the high temperatures in the queues at Tavira, especially since there are children present.
