We'll continue with a panoramic tour of the Salinas de Aveiro, where you will learn about the historical significance of salt in the city's economy.

Next, we will proceed to Costa Nova to explore notable beaches, including the Praia da Costa Nova with its colorful fishermen's houses and Praia do Paredão Barra, where we will view the lighthouse guiding ships along the coast.
