Please can someone give me the address of the train station in Aveiro. Thanks
From the Portugal Railways website
Morada: Largo da Estação dos Caminhos de Ferro
3800-179 Aveiro
translates as 'Railway Station Square' which might not be very helpful unless you have a map.
It's about 1km or 3/4 mile to the NE of the actual city centre and about 1.5km from the University if that helps.

Ovo moles are a local speciality. There are special pastry shops that mostly sell these. They come in shapes of sealife and they are basically a thin wafer type pastry filled with sweet yellow stuffing made of egg. They are yummy and quite filling. You can buy them individually in some shops if you only want to taste one.
Then there is this yellow stuff in aluminium containers (see photo no. 2). It’s also made of egg and very fluffy and light. You get a plastic spoon with it as it is not a pastry as such. Unfortunately, I don't know the name of it.
If your time is short to go on a tour to Ria de Aveiro, take a stroll to salt pans right outside the city. If you are following the route of Canal Central, keep walking along the opposite side of where the tourism office is, and you will stop seeing the buildings like in the city center. Instead, you will encounter small and short "mountains" of salt, which still is one of the most important products from the area. The other side of Canal São Roque is also the salt pan area; Universidade de Aveiro also owns a good amount of salt pan near its campus.
Go with one of the buses to the Ria. It's great because you can take a bath in thecool waters of the Antlantic ocean and only a few minutes walk away you can go into the warm and smooth waters of the Ria between Barra and Aveiro.
If you walk around Aveiro go to the Park. Its really beautiful!!
Although I did not get to do this, there are also tours of the canals and Ria de Aveiro, a wide marshland that was blocked from the ocean after a storm in the 1570s, on traditional seaweed boats called Moliceiros. The tickets for this can also be purchased at the tourism office, and it leaves at Canal Central right in front of where the sightseeing bus departs. It is a Venezia's gondola tour-equivalent of Aveiro, and gets filled up pretty quickly. So if you've got some time in the city, go ahead and do this tour! It will be a very special way to enjoy the city.
