August, 2016 - AVEIRO, PORTUGAL - DAY TRIP

We take a ferry from the anchorage, connecting to a city bus to Aveiro, the Venice of Portugal.

A major port in the middle ages, but fell out of use due to silting problems and the inability to handle larger ships.

Not to be missed if you are in this part of the country.

The motorized gondolas offer tours of the canals.


This gondola has a following.






Bridge guardian...

...times 2.



Tile decor on the church.

The town is full of decorated tiles and sidewalk mosaics.











Fish in nets suspended from poles over the street.
