After spending the morning in Fatima, I went North to Aveiro by car. Aveiro is one of those places that you don't hear much about. It's South of Porto, but still more in the Northern part of Portugal. I made a small video of the city itself, and the little information I could gather.
However, once you've been there, it does quickly become your favourite little city in Portugal. The houses are often covered by tiles, because the air is very moist. Even far away from the sea you can feel the breeze and taste the salt. I actually think it's a great way to cover your house on the outside in a durable and washable way. It looks good too.
A couple of places that I really liked there were a kind of square, which is really the widening of a street, and a park. So the street is R. Domingos Carrancho, which comes from the main canal. There is a Fado record shop (R. do Ten. Rezende 3), with a great window. It really has a very nice atmosphere, though the café doesn't have great reviews.
Another place is Parque Dom Pedro Infante. Only went there in the evening, but it's still very nice. Lots of ducks.
Dinner was in the Forum Aveiro mall, which has a couple of nice, and inexpensive eateries. There is a Vitaminas, which has salads and pasta salads. There's one with pineapple and shrimp, that sort of always makes me think of Aveiro now. It's a chain, so can be found all over Portugal. |
