Description

Salt extraction in the Aveiro region dates back to before the formation of the Aveiro Lagoon itself. The salt pans serve as a valuable artificial habitat for water birds, allowing a remarkable balance between economic use and the conservation of natural assets. In addition to their scenic appeal, these salt pans are true sanctuaries of biodiversity. For birds, the salt pans are especially attractive because they are not affected by the daily tidal cycle, offering particularly favorable conditions for feeding and shelter. A boat trip on a traditional moliceiro will give you a unique perspective on the city of Aveiro, the Venice of Portugal. Visit Costa Nova, with its colorful houses, the old 'palheiros' (haystacks). The Vista Alegre factory, founded in 1824, was the first industrial unit to produce porcelain in Portugal. Its shop and museum are well worth a visit. Come on!…
