Hello, I'm Pia, Chilean by birth, Portuguese at heart. I've lived in this beautiful land for over six years, and every day I continue to be amazed by its history, its people, and its vibrant corners. I'm a lawyer by profession, but my true passion is sharing what made me fall in love with Portugal: its culture, art, and traditions. As a history lover and tireless observer of details, I found in Ovar an authentic place, full of beauty and far from mass tourism. I invite you to discover the city where I live with me. I want you to marvel at every tile, the taste of its most typical pastry, and the tranquility of its streets, just as I do every day. It will be a relaxing, enjoyable, and very special walk. Let's discover this hidden corner of Portugal together!

Tour description

Essential Ovar: Tiles, Tradition and Sweets between River and Sea.

Are you exploring Porto or Aveiro and want to discover an authentic, peaceful place steeped in history?

I invite you to discover Ovar , a hidden gem between the Atlantic and the estuary, on a guided walking tour designed especially for Spanish-speaking travelers.

For 2.5 hours we will walk through its streets full of traditional tiles , we will learn about its local history , its relationship with the river and fishing, and we will take a delicious break to try its greatest treasure: the Pão de Ló de Ovar , one of the most emblematic sweets of Portugal.

I'll be waiting for you at the Ovar train station, just 30 minutes from Porto or Aveiro, for a leisurely stroll through heritage, nature, and flavor.
