Tourism in Portugal

Aveiro cuisine is naturally deeply influenced by the sea flavours, for there are many restaurants in the city where we can eat the freshest fish varieties and seafood. And obviously, codfish. Portugal's favourite fish. 

The charming historical city of Coimbra, beautifully placed by the Mondego River, is also a great spot for foodies and wine lovers. 

International Águeda River is born in Spain, on the Spanish flank of Serra das Mesas. It flows along 130 km, and its last 25 km set the natural frontier between the two Iberian countries. It flows into the Douro at Barca d'Alva.

Water is a pivotal concern of nations worldwide and Portugal is in this scope no exception, struggling against water scarcity, especially in the inland regions. In Center of Portugal, the prestigious Universities of Aveiro and University of Beira Interior, in Covilhã, are at the forefront of innovative water-based sustainable projects, developing smart nature-based solutions to reduce water consumption and to protect biodiversity and natural ecosystems, while raising public awareness on urgent sustainable practices. The clock is ticking.
