A handmade watercolor painting about Aveiro, with a Moliceiros boat in the lagoon Ria de Aveiro. Painting inspired by my own photograph.
Aveiro is also called as the Portuguese Venice, a beautiful place at the west coast of Portugal, a maritime city with water in its soul.
The cityscape is divided by canals, set along a lagoon called Ria de Aveiro. The gondola style traditional painted boats of Aveiro called Moliceiros were used originally to harvest seaweed, which were used as fertiliser in the agriculture, now are tourist vessels. On a tour with these boats, you can admire the Art Nouveau style houses painted for pastel colours along the quays in the Rossio district.
