Itinerary

Coimbra - University

After two hours driving from Lisbon e get to Coimbra University, the “Paço das Escolas” the architectural complex composed of several buildings, whose history dates back to the founding of Portugal. Before the University of Coimbra operated here, it was the first Royal Palace of Portugal, where many of the Kings of the first dynasty were born.

From the reign of D. Dinis the Palace began to be progressively abandoned until the sixteenth century, where it would be extensively renovated, housing the University of Coimbra.

When visiting the University of Coimbra, the Joanina Library is obligatory. Founded in the 18th century, it has a distinctively baroque style, being one of the most spectacular in the World. With three floors, it is the top floor that surprises and the one that is worth the visit, constructed in wood to better preserve the literary collection, the chinoiserie decoration has Asian influence.

A Romanesque building from the end of the 12th century, and in another the church of S. Bartolomeu, which dates back to the 10th century but was remodeled in the 12th and 18th centuries.

Suggestion for Lunch - Bairrada Piglet

In this region our suggestion for lunch will be in the region of Mealhada, locality famous for the piglet roasted in the oven of prferencia with a gasified wine of the same region.

Bairrada is the most famous place in Portugal in this type of dishes, baked in a wood-fired oven for over two hours.

Aveiro - Center

A must will be a ride on a “Moliceiro” typical boat used on ancient times for transport of salt and “moliça” ( seaweed ) to get to know the 3 kilometers of canals that supported the city.

The Aveiro market a construction in wrought iron and glass but by Gustavo Eiffel and to the innumerable buildings Art New all cataloged what they reveal the importance and even the wealth of this city.

Aveiro - Salines

In Century XV Salt of Aveiro was enough commercialized in Galicia, in Asturias and in all the national territory.

The humidity around 13% of Aveiro makes it a salt with high quality for the conservation of food, and fishing and cod drying gave a great relief to the Salt of this region. This was a major product in the development of one of the largest and most important regional economies.

In the 60’s there were records of about 270 saltworks in Aveiro. In 1994, only 49 salinas remained in full operation. Today there are only 9 salinas to operate. Many of them have dedicated themselves to tourist activities as a complement to the salt harvest.
