Description Aveiro

Booking.com

Aveiro, City of Canals combines the Ria and its noblest urban areas, in a unique and beautiful mix of water and land, in navigations that take us to special sites such as Beira-Mar, Paraíso, Alboi, the Fonte Nova, which allow us to contemplate the New Art, the industrial architecture, the historical patrimony and modern urban operations.

Since always linked to economic activities, Aveiro had its profits in the production of salt and naval trade.

Half-walled with progress, there is a tradition in some ethnographic experiences, as well as in the rural architecture of the region, where several aspects of Portuguese traditional construction are merged into the Gandaresa house. Aveiro also preserves in Alboi, and in particular, in the neighborhood of Beira Mar, one-storey houses tiled with tiles, living testimonies of ancient marnotos [salineiros] and devout fishermen of S. Gonçali-nho and S. Roque.

In front of it ... the Ria with all the beauty of its landscape mixed with islets and steers to fertile biodiversity.

Then, the sand dune of S. Jacinto with its reserve, sanctuary of nature, and the small settlement marked by the lagoon work, by Xávega art and by the distant fishing of the cod in the cold seas of Terra Nova.
