Hotels in Aveiro
Located on the Lisbon-Porto train line along the Costa de Prata, Aveiro (uh-vye-ro) is a regional port city with a population of 40,000. Historically, the city has prospered as a seaport, with salt as one of its main industries. In spite of relative economic decline, it boosts a spectacular bird sanctuary nearby, the Museu de Aveiro, and charming canals and homes. Decent beaches are nearby.
Aveiro was originally founded in the time of the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius. The development of the salt industry, agriculture, and fishing, and the first cod-fishing expeditions to distant Newfoundland in 1501 brought the city a period of great prosperity in the 16th century. However, in the winter of 1575, heavy storms destroyed the deep channel that had once linked the marshy lagoon known as Ria to the sea. This effectively destroyed the city's sea trade. The Ria was not joined to the sea again until the early part of the 19th century.
