Former Jerónimo Pereira Campos Ceramic Factory, built between 1915 and 1917. The red brick facade and its central chimney are postcards of Aveiro, which highlight the beauty of the canal. It was deactivated in the 1960s and renovated in 1995, becoming the Aveiro Congress Center. Today you can find the IEFP facilities here and some old parts from the factory on display.

Moliceiro Boats of Aveiro

Highlight • Structure

Moliceiro is a boat that travels along the Ria de Aveiro, a lagoon region of the Vouga River.

A typical boat from the Aveiro region. Length 15 metres, beam 2.50 metres. These boats were originally used to collect moliço, but are currently used more for tourist purposes.

It is one of the symbols of Aveiro, along with Ovos Moles and the University of Aveiro. Among the typical boats of the region, the moliceiro is considered the most elegant; despite its colourful and humorous decoration, it is a work boat for collecting moliço, which was the main source of fertiliser on the agricultural lands of Aveiro.

Vamos a la playa 🏖️. We saddle up our bikes and ride past the only remaining intact salt flats in Aveiro towards the harbor. One bacalao shop after another and lots of old tugboats.
