Known worldwide for its rich brand of wine, port, which is drunk
internationally with high quality cheeses, as well as Europe-wide for
the fast-paced attacking play of the local football team (who also go by
the name Porto), Porto’s industrial center is a UNESCO World Heritage
site, though undoubtedly not one of the prettier ones. The locals are
known throughout Portugal as ‘tripe eaters’ - due to meat rationing for
the supply of local ships – while the city is widely considered within
the country to be a tad crass, with many people from other regions
seeing Porto as a different country altogether from the rest of Portugal.
