We first visited the pretty area of Costa Nova with the striped houses overlooking the lagoon or the beach depending which way they were facing. The beach had lots of restaurants and was not crowded
We then went to Aveiro which was also lovely with art deco buildings and canals. We had a 45 minute canal tour which was interesting but a little disjointed as the lady guide had to speak in 3 languages because of the mix of nationalities.
Jose, our guide bought us some traditional Portuguese sweets from the area which were delicious. He then took us on a small walking tour through Aveiro and also took us to see the station.
A very enjoyable experience and thank you Jose for recommending and booking Ze Bota in Porto it was excellent!
