Aveiro (14th May)
The
charming town of Aveiro was a beautiful place to spend a few days.
The canals here give the city so much character and the gondolas that
cruise up and down are a great way to spend an afternoon.
The
backstreets of the city are very picturesque and you could spend
hours wandering around and getting lost. From very clever graffiti
art to tiled buildings – there was always something interesting to
look at.
We tried
to famous Aveiro pastry here – Ovos Moles. We weren't sure exactly
what this was, but after tasting and reading up on it – we found
out that it is a egg yolk custard encased in a crispy wafer like
shell. Very sweet and satisfying – you have to try it when you are
here! These are so popular here in Aveiro, even a wall was dedicated to them in graffiti street art!
The old
Aveiro train station is very nicely decorated and unfortunately no
longer in use, but still is incorporated into the new train station.
