Aveiro

Portugal
Someday we will visit Aveiro or begin to dream about going there! However, for now its not on our radar. Let us know in the comments if you think that should change!

Aveiro

Aveiro is the provincial capital city of Beira Litoral province, nestled next to a "ria", or salt water lagoon and the Vouga river delta on the Atlantic coast of Central Portugal. Its origins go back to pre-Roman times. From the 8th until the 11th century, the region was under Muslim control. The charter elevating the town to city status was conferred in 1759 by King João I.

Aveiro is known in Portugal for its traditional sweets, Ovos Moles de Aveiro (PGI), trouxas de ovos, both made from eggs. Raivas are also typical biscuits of Aveiro.

The architecture of Aveiro is influenced by two phases: the pre-Kingdom era, with a number of historical monuments; and the modernist movements resulting from the expansion of economy during the 19th-20th centuries.
