Full Version: Aveiro Uncovered: Canals, Tiles & Ovos Moles - self-guided tour Forget about the "Venice of Portugal." Aveiro doesn't imitate anyone. This self-guided audio tour starts from the Aveiro Train Station and finishes at Troncalhada Salt Pans Ecomuseum. Between these points, you'll pass through 10 stops, where moliceiros, Art Nouveau houses, and the sweet treat invented by nuns await. You will discover why Aveiro is not Venice and what the spicy jokes painted on the moliceiros mean. Admire the 1916 tile-covered train station and the most beautiful Art Nouveau street in Portugal, an open-air museum. Learn about the tradition of the ribbons on the most colorful bridge and tie your own ribbon. Taste the authentic fresh ovo mole where it was born, at Oficina do Doce, and understand why the nuns invented it. Walk to the thousand-year-old salt pans of the Ecomuseu da Troncalhada and discover Aveiro's salt. No buses, no rush. Just the real Aveiro, from land to water.
