All Moments About Costa Nova
Costa Nova, Portugal
Costa Nova, a small but cool open beach and cute striped houses!
It is a cute seaside town located 10km and 10 minutes from Aveiro, Portugal.
They say that they painted the houses with stripes to make them easy to recognize due to the terrain where fog often covers them, but because it is on the beach, it peels off easily and is often repainted.

Portugal: A cute striped town
Costa Nova is a port town in Portugal.
I wanted to go there so much that I wanted to go to Portugal.
Colorful striped houses line the coast❤️
It's a fisherman's port town, and it's said that the people made their houses colorful so that they could easily find their houses even in the fog when they went out to sea and returned.
It's a really cute town❤️💛

Colorful Striped Village, Costa Nova
This is a small seaside town located in the west of Portugal, called ‘Costa Nova do Prado’☺️
As you can see in the picture, each house is unique
and each has a different stripe pattern!
But why are the houses in this town so colorful?❓
This is a small town between the sea and the river,
and because of the terrain, it is said that there is a lot of fog🌫
So it is said that when fishermen returned in the past,
they started painting their houses in bright primary colors so that they could easily recognize their houses. ◡̈
Thanks to this, it is now called the cute nickname of the striped town,
and it is a pretty town no matter how you take a picture♡

Costa Nova, a striped town near Aveiro, Portugal🇵🇹
Locals visit this place a lot to vacation in the summer. It's a town that can be reached by bus from Aveiro in 30-40 minutes, and the striped houses are traditional, so it's a pretty place even in the off-season.🫶🏽
For those who are leisurely traveling to Porto in the summer, I highly recommend the resort town of Costa Nova.

[Portugal] Colorful and cute pajama city♡
Costa Nova is a city lined with colorful buildings painted in stripes along the seafront. It's also known as "Pyjama City" because it looks like striped pajamas. There is a lot of fog around the fishing port of Costa Nova, so the fishermen who went out fishing intentionally painted the exterior walls with a noticeable striped pattern so that they could find their houses even in the fog☺️
There are houses where people actually live, restaurants, souvenir shops, hotels, etc., and everything is so colorful and cute that you can't stop taking pictures😍
It is also famous as a resort in the summer, and the atmosphere with many palm trees lined up in front of the colorful buildings is very nice🌴💕
[Access] Take the train from Porto to Aveiro🚃 (about 1.5 hours) → Take a bus from Aveiro to Costa Nova for 30 minutes🚌
Aveiro, which is on the way, is also a canal city that is said to be the water capital of Portugal, and is a wonderful place to recommend♡

I went there on the way back from the Agueda Umbrella Festival with the feeling that I could stop by, so it was already evening when I arrived😢Please be careful not to disturb the residents when taking photos!
⋆┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈⋆How to get to Pajama City🚗
To get to Costa Nova, go from Aveiro Station.
From Aveiro Station, it's about a 30-minute bus ride.
I tried to find the bus stop, but I couldn't find it and it was a waste of time, so I took a taxi from Aveiro!
Aveiro is also a wonderful city.
It has a canal and gondolas, so it has a Venice-like atmosphere. Aveiro is also the station used to access Agueda, famous for its umbrella festival😉

"COSTA NOVA is a Portuguese brand dedicated to the design and manufacture of tableware, ovenware and serving accessories in fine stoneware. The dining sets and decorative collections recover old traditions, but everything seems to have a new look. The brand takes over a contemporary design (which extends to collaborations with different artists), reinterprets typically Portuguese symbols (such as tiles), finds inspiration in nature but always reflects, and in all pieces, the strong influences of the brand's Mediterranean roots. Under the motto «celebrating Life, through sharing moments at the table with family and friends», unique collections are created!" #costa nova
