Nowadays its relevance and increasing number of inhabitants comes from the presence of the University [founded in 1973] and from the industries and companies operating, mainly, in the technological areas and ceramics, as well as from the improvement of the harbour facilities, seen as an important gateway to Europe and a strategic point to international trade.<\/p>\n Aveiro is also placed by the central national railway which contributes to the easy traveling to everywhere in the country. All types of services are available as well as sports and cultural facilities to serve the population and the visitors. Museums, a municipal theater, a congress center and a large number of culture associations and culture agents [CCI] create the pleasant and dynamic cultural atmosphere of the city, highlighted by the canals festival and, mainly, the International Biennale of Artistic Ceramics [since 1989]. Encompassing the cultural dynamics, Aveiro was the first Portuguese Capital of Culture, in 2024.<\/p>\n A city full of history, of several former monasteries, baroque churches, Art Nouveau facades, colored tile panels and with a long tradition in ceramics, fishing [including the famous codfish] and salt production. Side by side with the city\u2019s remote history, is the university campus, a complete catalogue of the Portuguese contemporary architecture design by renowned architects such as the Pritzker\u2019s awarded \u00c1lvaro Siza Vieira and Eduardo Souto Moura.<\/p>\n The weather conditions are pleasant, on both summer and winter, and the brightness provided by the large lagoon and the ocean brings a special glow to the city and the buildings colors.<\/p>\n The beaches around Aveiro [Barra, Costa Nova and S\u00e3o Jacinto] are a main holiday center for people from center Portugal and Spain [Galicia and Castilla y Le\u00f3n]. Barra\u2019 beach is also a significant spots for surfing all entire year. Besides that, the lagoon [European protected area \u2013 Natura 2000 network] attracts a large number of visitors and researchers to appreciate and study the landscape and the biodiversity [mainly the birds]. The saltpans still producing according to artisanal methods are one of the major local touristic spots.
