Offered in: Portuguese and 2 more

Aveiro, which is considered “our small Venice” is a destination in the centre of Portugal that you should not miss.

This region is rich in old traditions, from the typical boats “moliceiros” along the channels of the town to the famous regional sweets of “ovos-moles” and the “Salinas” where you can see how salt is exploited. All these make this visit memorable and unique.

Our aim is to show you the striking beauty of the place and the traditions of its inhabitants.

After visiting the centre we will head to the coast to visit the picturesque fishing village of Costa Nova with its lovely stripe painted houses.

In full contact with the Atlantic Ocean we will be surprised by the famous “Farol da Barra” (Lighthouse) which is the highest in Portugal and one of the highest in Europe.
