Food:
A city seeped in tradition like Oporto is bound to have its unique dishes and culinary styles. With origins dating back to 1415 tripe is a local specialty, although for the less adventurous francesinha, a mighty meat and cheese sandwich, drenched in spicy sauce can be enjoyed. The most typical option though is seafood, in fresh abundance due to the coastal location, with waterfront eateries offering anything from traditional hearty Portuguese food to refined dishes.
