4th Day
In the morning there was a cultural visit to Costa Nova, a very charming oceanfront village, with the lagoon on one side and the Atlantic on the other.
We also stopped by Praia da Barra with its 62 metres high lighthouse, the highest one in Portugal and which dates back to 1893. It was built because the ocean off Aveiro is dangerously shallow for ships, and the presence of the lagoon would make land seem further away than it actually was.
In the afternoon we spent some time in Aveiro, a maritime city crossed by canals that you can navigate on painted
gondola-style boats known as “moliceiros”. And on the quaysides in the older
part of the city are charming Art Nouveau houses.
