In the 15th century this area was a private natural reserve of King D. Manuel and it was named “Pateira” due to the abundance of ducks.
The area has an undisputed natural beauty and offers excellent opportunities for sightseeing and walking.
Aveiro, in the northwest is unique: it is crossed by canals grandly embroidered with art nouveau houses and spanned by hump - backed bridges. It is also known as the Venice of Portugal.
Here, in colourfully painted ‘moliceiro’ boats, seaweed is gathered in the vast saltwater lagoon. Aveiro is also known for its traditional “ovos moles”, a delicious sweet made with eggs.
The university city of Coimbra is a mixture of ancient and modern. During most of the year the streets are filled with the chatter of black-caped students and the soulful tones of fado, literally meaning fate.
Local festivities in Fermentelos are held in honour of Santo Antonio, in June, and Senhora da Saude in August.
