  We present mid infrared (MIR) spectra of the Seyfert 2 (Sy 2) galaxy NGC
1808, obtained with the Gemini's Thermal-Region Camera Spectrograph (T-ReCS) at
a spatial resolution of 26 pc. The high spatial resolution allowed us to detect
bright polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) emissions at 8.6micron and
11.3micron in the galaxy centre (26 pc) up to a radius of 70 pc from the
nucleus. The spectra also present [Ne ii]12.8micron ionic lines, and H2
S(2)12.27micron molecular gas line. We found that the PAHs profiles are similar
to Peeters's A class, with the line peak shifted towards the blue. The
differences in the PAH line profiles also suggests that the molecules in the
region located 26 pc NE of the nucleus are more in the neutral than in the
ionised state, while at 26 pc SW of the nucleus, the molecules are mainly in
ionised state. After removal of the underlying galaxy contribution, the nuclear
spectrum can be represented by a Nenkova's clumpy torus model, indicating that
the nucleus of NGC 1808 hosts a dusty toroidal structure with an angular cloud
distribution of sigma = 70degree, observer's view angle i = 90degree, and an
outer radius of R0 = 0.55 pc. The derived column density along the line of
sight is NH = 1.5 x 10^24 cm-2, which is sufficient to block the hard radiation
from the active nucleus, and would explain the presence of PAH molecules near
to the NGC 1808's active nucleus.
