Location:

Situated in the urbanization known as Porto de Abrigo, in the locality of Torreira, municipality of Murtosa, this space is located on the bank of the Ria de Aveiro. Its position offers a privileged viewpoint over the lagoon and the dynamics of riverside life, harmoniously integrating into the characteristic landscape of the area.

A Meeting Point with the Ria:

The Porto de Abrigo of Torreira is a place that mirrors the community's strong connection with the Ria de Aveiro. It is here that a large part of the local fishing activity concentrates, functioning as a vital center for those who live from the sea and inland waters. Its existence underscores the continuous relevance of fishing and nautical traditions to the identity of Torreira.

The Stage of the Bateiras:

This port serves as home to a considerable number of traditional vessels, many of them the emblematic bateiras. When not actively working in the Ria, these vessels rest in the port, creating a scene of color and life. Their warm and vibrant tones contrast strikingly with the tranquil blue of the lagoon's waters, offering a particularly appealing visual composition for those who observe or seek a moment of contemplation.

A Revitalized Space:

The Porto de Abrigo of Torreira underwent a significant redevelopment project, completed in 2015. This intervention provided the port with modernized infrastructures, capable of accommodating a large number of vessels, over 150. Its renovation ensures a functional and safe environment, both for the vessels and for those who frequent it, maintaining it as a point of reference and support for fishing activity.
