Quando visitamos a cidade de Aveiro torna-se obrigatório navegarmos de barco entre os seus inúmeros canais aquáticos a fazer lembrar a mítica cidade italiana de Veneza.
A sua enorme beleza natural e arquitetónica perfeitamente alinhada com as suas gentes, dão a transparecer uma cidade alegre e bem disposta onde a água e o mar têm o papel principal.
Visitaremos também a praia da Costa Nova e as suas peculiares antigas casas dos pescadores às riscas verticais coloridas formando um desenho arquitetónico único em Portugal.
