This is a municipality located in Aveiro district, known for its beautiful beaches and traditional festivals. Integrated into the Ria de Aveiro, it has a good forest density, with several trails facilitating contact with nature.
Highlights in Vagos:
Museu do Brincar, a unique museum dedicated to toys and play, the beaches of Vagueira, Areão, Labrego, and the municipal park “Quinta do Ega”. The town hosts the annual Festival da Ria, celebrating local traditions, music, and cuisine.
Gafanha da Boa Hora
As I tell elsewhere, my first contact with this city was not very happy. Visiting Vagos was carefully postponed.
Despite everything, we started to “make peace” in the best way – with a Gala by the Associação de Dança, where I was saluted for my perseverance.
Strictly speaking, however, I haven’t yet entered Vagos, having stayed on the outskirts, in a modern school complex next to the Church of Gafanha da Boa Hora.
Personal Memories
Personal MemoriesBad memories
One night, driving across the city, I felt an intense and pleasant floral aroma. I was immediately hit by a wave of sneezing, so violent that I hesitated between stopping, not to lose control of the car, or accelerating, to free myself from the aroma that was causing the intense allergic reaction.
I opted for the second, but I didn’t get rid of a headache until I fell asleep.
The next day I woke up with facial paralysis, which took almost a month to recover to 90%.
I don’t know what flower attacked me so surprisingly, but that became my Vagos top memory. Visiting again? … maybe in winter!
