This is the Portuguese region where water and earth meet in the most spectacular way. In Aveiro, this is literal, because the seawater, which bathes the excellent beaches in the area, enters the land in the famous Ria, where colorful “moliceiros” (gondola style boats) delight the tourists.
Further inland, the river Paiva dominates the attentions, perfect stage for canoeing and other water sports. This combination of mountains, rivers, beaches and sea, creates a fantastic contrast and it's one of the reasons for the excellent cuisine of the region. In addition to all this, there are castles, museums and the famous factory of Vista Alegre, in Ílhavo.
