Salt mining in the Aveiro region dates back to a time before the Ria de Aveiro itself existed, with the first written document about Aveiro salt production dating back to before the founding of the nation. Over the centuries, the instability of the inlet (isolation from the sea) was a decisive factor in the variation in the number and production of salt pans. This resulted in periods of decline interspersed with periods of great favorability for production. This occurred in 1572, when, given the favorable condition of the inlet and the high and progressive commercial and maritime index, Aveiro became one of the best ports in Portugal, with a significant increase in salt trade and cod fishing. In 1808, the new inlet (an artificial system that allows seawater to enter) was finally opened, a fact of exceptional importance for the future of Aveiro and the entire region.

The Palheiros da Costa Nova, or the colorful little houses of Costa Nova, are the old fishermen's warehouses. In other words, these are where they stored their nets, boats, and fishing gear at the end of the day. But what makes the palheiros da Costa Nova so special, and why everyone wants to see them, is their picturesque and colorful appearance. The striped facades leave no one indifferent. And the fact that they are located in a seaside setting attracts even more visitors. Besides the palheiros, Costa Nova offers other must-see attractions for visitors. We're talking about extensive golden sand beaches, ideal for sunbathing or enjoying water sports like surfing and windsurfing. (Source: loveitportugal.com)
