Aveiro, Portugal

A New Culture Takes Hold in an Old Fishing Town
IT is midday in Aveiro, a surprisingly cosmopolitan fishing town on northern Portugal's Rota da Luz, the Route of Light. The spring afternoon is sunny and warm, and the canals are filled with bobbing moliceiros, their bright prows upturned like jester's shoes. Tied up to docks for lunch, they are empty of fishermen and tourists; nearby, shopkeepers are itching to close up for siesta. Lining the canals, gorgeous Art Nouveau homes are sleepy in the sun, their half-closed shutters indicating lunch is on the table.
