Our first stop in Portugal...
..is Aveiro ( well not quite, we're camped in Barra but, as you see, we're a short bus ride away.)
There's lots to see and say about Aveiro but, after the uplifting trip here, over the the mountainous, green central spine of the country, it's time to relax tonight before we catch that bus tomorrow. More then, after this:
Taking the local bus from Barra lands us right in the centre of Aviero; its easy to see why this delightful town is known as 'Little Venice' with its network of canals plied by decorated wide bottomed boats (molicieros), once full of harvested seaweed, now tourists. We take the canal trip, visit the sights, feel the atmosphere and enjoy a meal of locally caught sea bass washed down with a glass of duaro. Great start. The link above says more about this fascinating historic place than I can - and more eloquently, obviously.
The Canal Central
A great place to eat
Think it's the city of Coimbra tomorrow - if we can get into the site 🤞
