Aveiro
The surfing tradition, 70 km south of Porto
When visiting Aveiro we discover a landscape marked by water. One of the destinations in Europe with the longest tradition of surfing. Next to the sea and the estuary, a network of canals through which the moliceiros boats pass through the city. This makes it recognized as “the Portuguese Venice”, for its canals and beauty.
It is full of traditional cafes ideal for having a typical Portuguese sweet such as the “ovos moles” emblem of the city made with eggs and sugar, sold in wooden barrels or wrapped in a wafer crust. Before the sweet we can comfort the stomach with the delicacies that the sea offers, such as shellfish or fish, the eels so typical of this region. And it is that Aveiro has a lot to offer to every surfer who wants to get close to its explosive Atlantic coasts.
And when we approach the coast of Aveiro, Costa Nova, we find that it stands out especially for its color, which is due to the row of little houses “Palheiros” (summer houses) that are located on the coastline of the beach.
