Portugal Travel Guía

In our trip for Portugal, between Oporto and Coimbra, we find a city that we must not let through of length. It is a question of the city of Aveiro, anchored inside one laugh and protégée of the Atlantic Ocean, with which historically it has had relation great.

Aveiro is known that especially for its he should laugh and especially, for the channels that penetrate in the city and that are furrowed by the famous persons “Moliceiros“, crafts that traditionally they have come using for the seaweed estracción for the fertilizer of the fields, and that now serve also to plan tourist trips for the channels of the city.

On having spoken about Aveiro, it is inevitable not to mention to the Italian city of Venice. Of echo, Aveiro is known like the “Portuguese Venice”, although the comparison could turn out to be exaggerated. Nevertheless, Aveiro has a special delight. In her tradition and modernity intermingle. This way, covering its channels, we can come across with impressive buildings of style “new art“, as well as the typical houses of the quarter of the fishermen. Also you can meet in half of the city a shopping, very typical center in Portugal. Nevertheless, the esthetic harmony does not ever break. One cannot avoid to marvel with the delight of the low small houses of the city, decorated with the typical Portuguese tile, or with that of its cobbled streets.

A central channel divides the city in two and serves like atraquepara bateiras point and moliceiros. Going in south direction from the quarter of the fishermen, we come to the monumental Aveiro, replete with historical buildings and churches like, for example, the church of the Carmelite ones, the Cathedral of São Domingos, or Jesus's Convent, current Museum of Aveiro.

In this city you will be able to relax enjoying a good Portuguese typical dinner in some of its traditional restaurants, where you will be able to taste a few excellent fish, octopus or squids. A good place to go to have dinner is the fish market, since he has a restaurant in its high part and enough price good is. After having dinner, you you can go for a walk for the bars of the area of the old town or take unacopa in some of the patios of the central channel if the time allows it to you.

Other one of the Aveiro advantages is its closeness with the beaches. It is communicated by the beaches of the South across the divided highway IP-5, for what in a little time you can enjoy the wonderful beaches that Portugal offers you.
