What To Expect

From your hotel in Porto, you’re picked up in the morning for the drive to Santa Maria da Feira.The city's most distinctive feature is its castle, built in the 15th century with a design and layout that is unusual amongst Portuguese castles, looking more like something that has been plucked straight out of a book of fairy tales.Short stop in the city center for a coffee/tea and to taste of Fogaça, a kind of sweetened white bread with 500 years of history with a shape that resembles the Feira castle.

Praia da Costa Nova

Visit to Costa Nova beach. Towards the end of the 19th century when it became fashionable to bathe in the sea, the local fishermen began to rent out their palheiros in the summer season and the idea then arose to paint the outside panels of Costa Nova wooden houses in bright colours. Your Aveiro full-day tour ends with return transport to your Porto hotel.
