AVEIRO DISTRICT - VILLAGES, CITIES AND INTERESTING PLACES

 

The district of Aveiro, 714 200 inhabitants in 2011 is a Portuguese district whose structural area, in the center, center-south, and south of the district, belongs to the Intermunicipal Community of the region of Aveiro, the province of Beira Litoral, and the region of the Center (Beiras Region, Northern Extremadura, and Northern Ribatejo).

In the District of Aveiro, the predominant sectors are the manufacturing industry and commerce, which account for 50% and 32% of the region's turnover, respectively. The fisheries sector also stands out, whose weight in the national economy represents about 19% of total sales.

Among the most relevant industrial activities, several traditional sectors stand out, namely metal mechanics, the chemical industry, wood, and cork, among others. However, it is also worth mentioning the emergence, in recent years, of industrial sectors that produce goods with a strong technological component and with an export vocation, a fact that is not unrelated to the impulse given by the University of Aveiro and by the technological centers existing in the District.

The district of Aveiro is located, for the most part, below 100 m in altitude, occupying a coastal plain that reaches up to 40 km wide, in the southern part of the district. The landscape of this plain is dominated by the Aveiro estuary, and by the rivers of the Vouga hydrographic basin (Cértima, Alfusqueiro, Águeda, Antuã, Boco and Vouga itself on the coastal plain, and Agadão, Caima and Mau already in the foothills of the mountains). The only rivers that do not flow into the Vouga River, but directly into the Ria de Aveiro, are Antuã, in the municipality of Estarreja, and Boco, in the municipality of Ílhavo.
To the east and the north, the relief becomes more rugged, rising even in the district of Aveiro to the heights of the main mountains, even extending to the Montemuro mountain range, to the northeast. On its northern border, the district briefly contacts the Douro River and some of its tributaries (Arda and Paiva).
The coastline is sandy, in a typical lagoon landscape, with a dune cord of varying thickness separating the calm waters of the Aveiro estuary from the sea.
Main mountains of Aveiro District:
Serra do Buçaco - 549 m altitude
Serra do Arestal - 830 m altitude
Serra da Arada - 1,071 m asl
Serra da Freita - 1,085 m altitude
