The starting point for this walk is the beautiful CP station with its tile panels that open the doors to Aveiro with so many places to discover, rich in traditions, in religiosity, present in the museum of St.ª Joana and the Cathedral or "Art Nouveau" buildings with their own architecture. The fish square, a meeting point for people is another landmark of this city, just like the marnotos in the Tronchalada salt pans maintaining the tradition of extracting sea salt and where flamingos return to feed in the ria. A route that is also done by moliceiro and, on this world day of pastry, tasting of ovos-moles and other typical Aveiro sweets accompanied with Bairrada sparkling wine in the "city of the canals" where science and tradition go hand in hand for the future. |
