Portugal's Venice

The final stop on our roadtrip through Portugal was Aveiro, considered the country’s equivalent of Venice. Aveiro is a small town organised around several canals. The houses are painted in either bright colours or covered in traditional Portuguese tiles. The colourful gondolas are available for tours of the area, like their counterparts in Italy. One of our favourite parts of our stay in Aveiro was the excellent seafood, no doubt caught fresh from the ocean nearby.
