Various murals I spotted around the city of Aveiro, when I visited Portugal in March 2023.

Aveiro, lies on the edge of Ria de Aveiro, a saltwater lagoon farmed for its seaweed, salt and fish. This mural shows the salt harvesting, women with baskets of fish on their heads and the "moliceiro", the traditional boat of the Ria (estuary) similar to the Venetian gondolas.


Salt - moliciero - fish

  2. Some of this felt a bit disjointed to me. I did like the cat, of course (grin). Thanks for these, even though I really didn't understand much of what I was seeing. And thanks for hosting, too.

    BTW, I will be by today to see your July wrap up, too.

  8. Joondalup 2013 - I tried Sushi. With chicken. But the seaweed it was in... oh, so "fishy"! Ingo served me fish in a cat´s bowl last week. That was even yummy.
    I like especially the bridge!

  13. Dear Sami, these are wonderful murals again - and A LOT OF!
    I particularly like the one that shows the salt harvesting. In my today's post, I'm going to tell you about an ancient Roman settlement, but I don't know if the reconstructed Roman wall paintings would have been enough for your linkup. That's why I've added a few murals from Costa Rica that haven't been shown before.
    All the best and have a great new week!

    2. Dear Sami,
      thank you very much for your comment here and in my blog and thanks for your inspiration: Your comment made me include a map of the Roman Empire at the time of its greatest expansion in my post to give my readers an idea of HOW HUGE it was.
