Description

The Moliceiro boats have for centuries represented a vessel for the harvesting and transportation of moliço (a kind of seaweed) in the Ria de Aveiro. At that time, these could be moved to the sail, the rod, or the tow. One of the most distinctive features of these boats is their decoration.

They are decorated with paintings depicting, almost always, satirical or comic day-to-day situations. Currently, these boats are used only for recreational purposes, transporting thousands of tourists annually through the four urban channels of the city of Aveiro.

Lovely time with Aveiro no Coração - Passeios de Barco

You will not meet Rossana, the guide, but you will be directed to Aveiro no Coração - Passeios de Barco for a boat tour. The advantage of this company is that it is located on one of the branches of the canal (still close to where the other companies are) so you won't end up with a large group of people like on the other boats. The route is the same. Miguel on the boat was very informative. I recommend.
