Cidade de Aveiro Portugal hd - high definition HD 720 p - HD 1080 p (One of) the most beautiful town of Portugal: Aveiro is sometimes called "The Portuguese Venice", because of its canals and boats that remind one of the Italian city of Venice, as the city faced similar problems when it tried to conquer the water. It is the second most populous city in the Centro region of Portugal after Coimbra. However the city of Aveiro together with neighbouring Ílhavo, make one conurbation which has a population of 113908 inhabitants that makes it one of the most important by population density in Centro region within a few km². Aveiro is known in Portugal for its traditional sweets, the ovos-moles and the trouxas de ovos, both made from eggs. The city dates back at least to the 10th century when it was known by its first Latin name of Aviarium, literally, "a gathering place or preserve of birds". The Moors invaded and then held it until the 11th century, after which it became popular with Portuguese royalty. In the winter of 1575 a terrible storm closed the entrance to its port, ending a thriving trade in metals and tiles. The same storm also created a reef barrier at the Atlantic Ocean. The city is also famous for its production of salt and for its seaweed harvest, which is used for fertiliser in the area. jorgetavares.planetaclix.pt http jtavarespt.blogspot.com JT 2009
