Águeda
The municipality of Águeda is located in the district of Aveiro, Beira Litoral Region, with its origins dating back to 370 BC and its foundation attributed to the Celts, Turduli, and Greeks. In addition to its built heritage, be sure to take a boat trip on the Pateira Lagoon, the largest lagoon in the Iberian Peninsula, covering 525 hectares and connecting to the Cértima, Águeda, and Vouga rivers. Typical regional crafts include stoneware, lace, cooperage and tinware objects, and faience painting. In gastronomy, roast suckling pig is a hallmark of the region, and rabbit "à moda de Águeda" (Águeda-style), goat, and "albardado" or "à Ribeirinho" codfish also deserve attention. The typical sweets are tempting: Águeda pastries, "barrigas de freira", "fuzis", "sequilos", "cavacas", "suspiros", and São Pedro cake.
