What a beautiful city! Surrounded with the river and the sea is also rather near. We was one week with 2 collagues and 4 students in October 2016 Aveiro. We had a flight from Helsinki to Frankfurt and then to Porto where we stayed one night. Porto is rather big city and very lively. Next morning we travelled by train to Aveiro and it took about one hour. Students lived with their host families and we teachers lived about 9 kilometers from the city, near the sea.
I have never eat so much seafood in one week, but the food was delicious. And I mean really delicious because it was so fresh. In the evenings we went to walk in the beach to look those big waves of Atlantic sea. I thought to swim but when I saw those waves, I'd rather stay away....
In daytime we had very intensive work with the WoCu2.0 intercultural project and our Portugal coordinator Jorge arranged some companyvisits for teachers and students. Thanks a lot Jorge for that week and hope to see you in Finland in May 2016.
Best regards Päivi Tyrväinen
