I spent the weekend in Aveiro attending a small beach ultimate frisbee tournament. Aveiro itself has a few canals and humpbacked bridges and is sometimes dubbed "Venice of Portugal".

Here are some impressions of Coimbra. I am here since April and I will stay until the middle of August.

Fado is a kind of Portuguese music characterized by mournful tunes and lyrics. Coimbra is one of its center.

View from the other side of the river Mondego.

The famous university tower

The old cathedral

Church of "Santa Cruz"

Since Coimbra is very hilly, there are a lot of beautiful "miradouros" (lookouts).
