Spend a day in Ovar, an outdoor museum to the “azulejos”, typical Portuguese ceramic pattern tiles. These Arab-style geometric flower motif tiles first appear indoors on palaces and churches from the 15th century. Later, the façades of most 19th public buildings of Ovar were tiled and ornamented with balustrades, cones and small ceramic statues. Today even private-owned houses and public walkways are tiled. At the tourist office (building of the Paços do Concelho) it is possible to schedule a free 1h guided tour. They also stock a small booklet that allows you to study the tiles of 19 façades on your own. Be sure to taste the “Pão de Ló” sponge cake and check the dates for carnival week!
