Discovering Aveiro means delighting in the sweet soft eggs, falling in love with a moliceiro ride along the estuary and being enchanted by the elegance of the facades that define the city's picturesque landscape.

Our lunch will be in Costa Nova. The most picturesque image of Costa Nova is that of its waterfront where wooden haystacks are lined up, painted with stripes of strong colors alternating with white. Initially, these haystacks built by fishermen were used as shelter or storage for fishing equipment. Today, fully restored, they are pleasant holiday homes.
