Portugal Food Stories Day 4 - Exploring Aveiro

As time goes by, I am becoming less and less fan of interpretation museums. That said, Museu do Bacalhau wasn’t that bad.

Not that codfish history weren’t interesting but this #graphicDesign poster got my attention for obvious reasons.

But, having bacalhau and exploring Aveiro was a complete different story. And eating it by Aveiro’s beach, where minutes later we’d enjoy a refreshing bath, along with many other sea delicacies – percebes included! – was like heaven to me.

Awesome meal & location – A Praia do Tubarao, Aveiro.

Our afternoon was completed with a completely unexpected and awesome surprise. Alianca Underground Museum.

Aliança Underground Museum has just done it. I’m highly impressed

Almost 2km of underground galleries. Jose Berardo’s 9 art collections. From African art to Indian photography, from Portuguese tiles to Minas Gerais minerals – in the snapshot.
ART + WINE + PASSION
Mind. Blown

Almost 2km of galleries where up to 9 different personal art collections of the owner of Alianca wines, got during his many trips. India photography and Brazilian’s Minas Gerais minerals caught my attention indeed. As the whole complex did. Can’t understand how, living barely 4 hours far from there for most of my life, I had never heard about it.

Really in love with India photography exhibit at #AliançaUndergroundMuseum #portugalfoodstories

Finally, my sweet tooth condition was satisfied at Aveiro. Ovos moles made of egg custard, something like the pasteis de Tentugal we tasted the day before, are way too good to let them go without having a small box of them at a time.

  YES! Go for it. Although not very publicized, it is very well worth it!
