About the place
The city of Porto (also known as “Cidade Invicta”) is the city that gave name to Portugal. It is the Northern Capital of Portugal, also known worldwide for its wine, its bridges and ancient and contemporary architecture, its historical center, listed as World Heritage by UNESCO, as well as for its food.
The population of Porto won the nickname “tripeiros” (an expression more affectionate than pejorative) because of the sacrifices they made to support the preparation of the army which departed in 1415 to the conquest of Ceuta. The population offered the expedition all the meat available, leaving only the tripe, the guts and the bowels. Then they accomplished a tasty dish that is now mandatory on any restaurant menu. This is also the reason why the traditional dish of the city is still, today, the Tripe Porto (“Tripas à Moda do Porto”). There is even a brotherhood especially dedicated to this dish.
