Costa Nova is a fishermen’s village which has typical houses: they are built in wood and they are stripped. They usually are colourful – red, blue, green or yellow – and white, making a vertical or horizontal pattern which sometimes contrasts (in shape) with windows, doors and balconies. If visiting Costa Nova or Aveiro don’t miss the chance of strolling in the village as some houses are lovely, mainly during Spring and Summer when flowers on the balconies blossom, making these houses even brighter.
Costa Nova is situated about 11km from Aveiro.

Apart from houses, Costa Nova is also renowned for its nice and long beaches. Sand is white and sea is somewhat cold, but nevertheless very enjoyable. Even visiting during Winter months, a walk along the sea is always pleasant, so don’t miss the chance to get to know these beaches. For those not interest in walking on the sand, there is a wooden path which runs along the beaches.
Costa Nova is situated about 11km from Aveiro.

Aveiro looks like a very pretty place in sunshine and the stripped houses of Costa Nova look very cute. | Bwana_Brown Thu Jun 16, 2005 09:53 UTC
Totally amazing photographs of Aveiro!! So clear and bright with colours! Now I really wish that we had not missed this spot when we were so close. My wife and I still smile when we think of Portugal, thanks for the reminder! | ncfg Wed Apr 27, 2005 22:42 UTC
