Ovar
Located on the north coast, the municipality of Ovar is part of the Aveiro district. Its connection with the Ria has always been reflected in the daily lives of the population and in the local economy, particularly through the exploitation of natural resources. The harvesting of "moliço" (natural fertilizer), fishing and the transport of goods contributed to the growth of trade in products such as salt, rice, wine, fish, among others. For many, this activity was the main source of income for their families. Over time, the Ria continues to influence the dynamics of the municipality, but a new component has emerged, tourism. Regarding local delicacies, sponge cake (pão-de-ló) is, without a doubt, the local specialty.
