Aveiro, Costa Nova beach and Moliceiro Boat, half-day from Coimbra

After picking up the participants in Coimbra, we will head to Aveiro, less than an hour away. We'll start aboard one of the traditional Moliceiros boats, which were formerly used to catch "moliço" and to transport seaweed and salt. After boarding, we will make a 45-minute journey through the urban channels that characterize and divide the city known as the “Portuguese Venice“. Then, we will go to Praia da Barra where we get to know the mouth of the Vouga river and the Aveiro estuary, barred by strong walls which gave rise to a beautiful beach without waves much sought after by families. We can also appreciate the lighthouse of Aveiro. After visiting, we continue to Costa Nova, one of the most beautiful beaches in Portugal and also with the most original neighborhood due to the houses painted with different colored stripes that border the Ria. After enjoying all that Costa Nova has to offer, we will return to Coimbra and finish the tour.
