Location and Activities
Part of the Norte do Salgado Aveirense Group, this island is composed of a set of former salt marshes, converted in full harmony with the surrounding ecosystem, into multiple economic and leisure activities, such as the production of premium oysters, salicornia, salt, and fleur de sel, as well as tourist activities such as birdwatching.
Located 3 minutes from the historic center of Aveiro (a city also known as the Venice of Portugal), access is convenient and charming via the Main Canal, both to the south via the Esteiro de Sama (or Esteiro dos Frades) and to the north via the Esteiro das Brasalaias.
