WHAT YOU VISIT
Aveiro
Established in Roman times, the small city of Aveiro sits along a lagoon and is criss-crossed by a series of channels that are traveled by boats called 'moliceiros.' Step aboard and you're off to explore the inland Aveiro channels, which boast calm waters and offer a "highway" through the city past brightly colored buildings.
Oficina do Doce
Located at the heart of Aveiro on the main street near the main canal, this sweet workshop not only offers a short video presentation that showcases Aveiro's history and culinary traditions, you'll also witness the production process of 'ovos moles,' a delicious pastry made with a sweet egg yolk cream inside a thin wafer shell. Learn how to prepare this sweet treat and after the demonstration you can enjoy a tasty sample.
PHOTO OPPORTUNITY
Described as the Venice of Portugal, Aveiro's canals offer many photo ops. Moliceiros boats, once used for seaweed-harvesting, transport tourists along the waterways and float past brightly colored Art Nouveau buildings.
