Working and living in the region

Ovar is located by the Atlantic, about 30 km from the cities of Aveiro (to the south) and Porto (to the north).

Its extensive forest area integrates a rich and distinct biodiversity, where the Environmental Park of Buçaquinho is a reference. It is also known for the brightness and originality of its tiles that embellish the numerous facades of the city center and the religious heritage, being even considered Architectural Heritage of Portugal. A culinary specialty is the well-known sponge cake of Ovar, typical sweet of the region.

The economic development of the city depends mainly on tourism and industry. The good connections to the road axes to the south and north, as well as the proximity to the sea ports of Leixões and Figueira da Foz play a key role in the city's development.

Ovar is a privileged destination for those looking for natural beauty, the pleasure of physical activity and outdoor sports, and boating. It is also known nationally for its Carnaval.
