Bom Dia

It was a perfect choice for us. Looked in Gaia, Esphino to Aveiro. Nice quick train hop to day trips. Not a expat location or touristy.

Sorry to revive an old post, but found it because we are also planning to move to Ovar and I was trying to find info online. How are you liking it so far? We'll be there again this Sept and are planning to purchase a home next year. I hope it's been a great fit for you!
