O Mondego foi, durante centenas de anos, a<br />

principal via de comunicação entre as populações<br />

do interior e do litoral. A inexistência de soluções<br />

ferroviárias/rodoviárias e a rapidez e baixo custo<br />

do transporte fluvial transformaram o Mondego,<br />

no responsável principal pela subsistência e<br />

economia das populações por ele banhadas.<br />

Muito por causa destes fatores, surgiu a Barca<br />

Serrana que assumia, neste contexto, um papel<br />

de destaque, encontrando-se no centro das mais<br />

importantes atividades económicas e comerciais<br />

da bacia do Mondego.<br />

For hundreds of years, the Mondego was the<br />

main means of communication between the<br />

populations of the interior and the coast. The lack<br />

of rail/road solutions and the speed and low cost<br />

of river transport made the Mondego the main<br />

responsible for the subsistence and economy of<br />

the populations bordering it. It was largely because<br />

of these factors that Barca Serrana emerged and<br />

took on a prominent role, being at the centre of<br />

the most important economic and commercial<br />

activities in the Mondego basin.<br />
