    (Translated by Google) A beautiful reference, in the form of five sculptures, to "ovos moles", a traditional regional sweet from Aveiro's pastry shop, whose original formula and production method are due to the nuns of the various convents existing in Aveiro until the 19th century. The nuns used egg whites to iron their habits. The yolks, so that they were not wasted, formed the basis for making the candy. The "ovos moles" in Aveiro traditionally have the shape of mussels, whelks and barrels. This is well represented in this monument. (Original) Uma bela referência, em forma de cinco esculturas, aos "ovos moles", um doce regional tradicional da pastelaria aveirense, cuja fórmula e método de produção original se devem às freiras dos vários conventos existentes em Aveiro até ao século XIX. As religiosas utilizavam a clara de ovo para engomar os hábitos. As gemas, para que não fossem desperdiçadas, se constituíram na base para a feitura do doce. Os "ovos moles", em Aveiro, tradicionalmente, têm a forma do mexilhão, do búzio e da barrica. Isso é bem representado neste monumento.

    (Translated by Google) Another of the areas of Aveiro that one cannot leave without visiting, there are some very beautiful photos and the color makes it stand out a lot. Nearby we have a terrace with great service and very good prices for such a tourist area. From this point we have a jetty to catch the 🚣‍♀️ Moliceiros (Original) Otra de las zonas de Aveiro que no se puede uno dejar sin visitar, quedan unas fotos muy bonitas y el color hace resaltar mucho.

    It is interesting how the molds from where this monument's Ovos Moles appear to have come from, seem to have the egg yolk filling themselves. It reminds one to shop for Ovos Moles before heading home.
