- This week we explore the 'Venice of Portugal' - Aveiro
Aveiro is a popular tourist destination, famed for its canals, Nouveau architecture and colourfully painted Moliceiros boats. The city lies on the edge of the Ria de Aveiro, a saltwater lagoon that was historically farmed for its seaweed, salt and bountiful fish.
Aveiro is frequently described as the Venice of Portugal, and it is easy to understand why. It was historically an influential trading city, there are canals, and gondola-like boats (the Moliceiros) ply the waterways. By referring to Aveiro as the Venice of Portugal, does a disservice to the city; it sets visitors expectations too high, while missing the real allure of the city. More accurately, Aveiro should be described as a characterful and traditional Portuguese city.
Aveiro is a major city, but the historic centre is relatively compact and can be seen within three hours of sightseeing. A typical day trip is often combined with a boat tour of the canals and the Ria de Aveiro lagoon. For a beach focused holiday, you would want to stay in Costa Nova, as Aveiro is not situated on the Atlantic coastline but is 7km inland. Costa Nova is one of the hidden gems of Northern Portugal and an amazing location for a relaxing holiday.
Ovos moles de Aveiro - sometimes written as ovos-moles de Aveiro - are a local pastry from Aveiro District, Portugal, made of egg yolks and sugar. This mixture is then put inside wheat flour casings (similar to communion wafers) shaped into historical or nautical shapes such as shells and wooden barrels. In 2008, Ovos moles de Aveiro was designated a product with Protected Geographical Indication by the European Union
You can try "ovos moles" of Aveiro in one of the many confectioneries in the Rossio area, between modernist buildings and the landscape of the Central Canal of the estuary. But if you want to know everything about "ovos moles" it is worth stopping by the Oficina do Doce (Sweet Workshop), where the real experts tell the story of this sweet of unique flavour and teach how to prepare the golden mass of sugar and eggs of almost sacred aroma.

Thanks so much Roy, so nice to get some positive feedback, really appreciate it!
*I've been living in Aveiro for almost 3 months. I'm from Brazil. And so far to me it is a good and Beautiful city.*
It's really a special place!
Is there a good night life? Bars etc.
Ah, beautiful Venice in Portugal 😍
This is my kind of exploring, always something nice to taste😋 like a nata or my goodness, nata Ice cream😁
Can't wait for Porto🤩
We just love your videos.
🤞For sunshine in Porto🌞🌞🌞
Thanks Davida, we did get lucky with at least a little bit of sun... 😜
Very interesting delicacies.....from making your own to that ice-cream! The most beautiful Mac D didn't tempt you to venture inside?
The Ovos Moles flavour is just so delicious, in every form! Definitely not tempted by McD no matter how beautiful! 😝
It has great night life as well
❤️Aveiro
I loved Aveiro. Was there for two days. I'd like to spend more time there to relax and bike ride. What's your favorite Portuguese city? I think mine is Oporto but need to spend more time there as well. Two days in these cities just isn't enough
Completely agree. We wanted to spend weeks in each place! Porto is really incredible but we were also rather impressed with Lisbon. As to favorite? That's a hard one 😄 We will have to go back and see more and stay longer!
Do you intend to come again in a couple of years? Aveiro is such a Beautiful city. It's worth a visit!*
@@victor6963 I would go again to Aveiro tomorrow. I wouldn't wait a couple of years. I could live in Aveiro Portugal.
Costa nova Ílhavo não é Aveiro
👍You are correct, we visited Aveiro from Costa Nova! Thanks for watching!
Costa Nova não faz parte do distrito de Aveiro?
