Highlights
  • Aveiro - With scheduled departure at 9:00 am or 2:00 pm, from your Hotel, the driver and guide will begin the route heading south, to this coastal city, founded on salt production and maritime trade.
    Aveiro is surrounded by salt flats, incredible beaches and small lagoons that still preserve the city’s fauna, flora and traditions.
    On the other hand, in the oldest part, it is still possible to see the original facades of the picturesque colorful houses of the old fishermen, as well as a set of Art Nouveau style pieces that are worth appreciating.
    For a different perspective, we suggest a Moliceiro ride along the main channel!
  • Ria de Aveiro - Stroll through its canals aboard a colorful Moliceiro boat, originally used to collect seaweed.
    Low side boats to facilitate loading of the moliço. Moliceiros have a very elegant bow and stern that are usually decorated with paintings that ridicule everyday situations.
  • Costa Nova - Let yourself be conquered by the warm simplicity of the fishing spirit of Costa Nova in Aveiro, still so present on its sands, and discover the beach, the town and the history of this region.
    Its Fish Market where fish and seafood from the Ria or the Sea delight anyone’s eyes.

Highlight of our Porto visit - Paulo picked us up at our lodging location in Porto at 9 am. Trip to Aveiro took about 55 minutes. The city is beautiful and clean. The canal tour was informative and the additional trip to Costa Nova and its beautiful beach was interesting. Paulo was a wealth of knowledge about these small cities and was an enjoyable guide. Was one of our highlights during our visit to Porto.
