The Ria de Aveiro Special Protection Zone (SPA) is a protected area of high importance for nature conservation, integrating the Natura 2000 Network and protecting habitats such as estuaries, salt marshes, dunes and sugarcane fields. Classified due to its rich birdlife, the SPA covers a vast estuarine and coastal region, acting as an important location for aquatic and migratory birds, and for the conservation of habitats and fish communities.

A beautiful open square with a large roundabout. From here, you can walk to Velha Beach or enjoy a delicious meal at one of the nearby restaurants. The Praia do Farol restaurant is highly recommended.

The Farol de Aveiro (also known as da Barra) is over 60 meters high, making it the sixth tallest lighthouse in the world. Every Wednesday, the first 50 visitors are allowed to ascend the tower. Therefore, there are often long lines of people in front of the tower on Wednesdays.

These traditional houses were used by the fishermen to store their fishing equipment and have also been used as beach houses over the years. The fishermen have built their houses directly behind the beach. With their facades painted in colorful stripes, they welcome the sea.

In the dense sea fog, it was sometimes difficult for fishermen to find their houses. For this reason, the fishermen's houses have unique color characteristics.

The staircase consists of stone steps in the shape of a spiral. Built between 1885 and 1893, it is the most visited lighthouse in Portugal.
