Itinerary
1
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!
Duration: 60 minutes
