Aveiro is 48 miles south from Porto, a beautiful coastal city full of history and interesting things to do. Always a very important fishing hub, specially for the salted codfishing fleets that arrived from New Foundland, the city was suprised in the 15 hundreds by a natural disaster, that blocked their harbor and created the natural Canals of brackish water that we see today. That, led to the wonderful Canal navigation all throught the center, but also to the important Salt Lagoons ("salinas"), for the rising of a salt industry. As well as the invention of special boats ("moliceiros") for the capture of seeweed, a natural soil fertilizer. The port was again opened to navigation, and the area is today, still, one of the most important fishing and fish factory center. But it's also the capital of Art Nouveau of Portugal, with many amazing sumptuous 1900's buildings. And, of course, its dazziling Convents and Churches and the best. . . their unique Conventual Pastries, the famous "Ovos Moles". To be discovered!
