July 26 | 16h00 | Check map below for meeting point
Salt of Aveiro is a very valuable resource in the history of Aveiro. The production of sea salt – locally cherished as “white gold” – had a significant expression in the 60s of the 20th century, with around 270 salinas, producing around 95,600 tons/year in 1966. In the 1960s, the activity began to decline, not only in terms of the number of active salinas, but also in terms of production volume. Currently, only 7 salt production stations are in operation and only a few continue to bring us Salt from Aveiro and ensure that this art continues to last in our days and not just in memories.Moliceiro Boat Ride

Today, there are several boats with colorful panels that we see sailing in the urban channels of Ria de Aveiro.* To enjoy the boat ride, please ask for the voucher during registration.
