Aveiro is in the Baixo Vouga sub-region between the Atlantic Ocean and the mountainous surroundings of its neighbouring districts
Commonly nicknamed the ‘Portuguese Venice’, Aveiro is criss-crossed by canals. We went for a ride on one of its brightly patterned moliceiro boats ...
... and saw some of the sights of the town - pastel-tinted Art Nouveau buildings
On another day, we took a train to Espinho
Espinho is a beach resort about 30 minutes by train from Porto.
It is known as the volleyball capital of Portugal.
It also hosts an annual Surf event organised by the World Surf League and hosted 2015 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup
Espinho also boasts the oldest golf club in Portugal and Spain
