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.
