SUBREGIONS

The Bairrada DOC is currently framed by the Vouga river in the north, the Mondego in the south and the Serra do Caramulo and Buçaco in the east. A strip of pine forests in the west separates it from the Atlantic Ocean. The region is crossed by three small rivers, Certima, Agueda and Varziela, which flow into the Aveiro lagoon. The altitude varies from 50 m near the coast to 500 m in the Buçaco and Carmulo mountain ranges. In the Certima valley, most of the vineyards are located on a fairly flat surface between 7 and 120 m above sea level.

POINTS OF INTEREST

Aveiro is a small city known by its canals. Its three canals divide the city into two parts: the north part of the mail canal leads to the old sailors’ houses and on the south, there are historic buildings.

Highlights of the city are the Cathedral of Aveiro and the Monastery of Jesus which also hosts the Aveiro City Museum. This ancient church dates back to the 15th century and its interior features a baroque style.

The Vista Alegre Museum has one of the most important porcelain collections and is dedicated to preserve the porcelain’s history and the evolution of the porcelain production and its importance within the Portuguese society.

Aveiro enjoys two beautiful beaches; one of them Praia da Barra (the Barra beach) with a boulevard, restaurants and cafes on the banks of the beach and Praia da Costa Nova is famous for being striped beach houses called Palheiros.
