In the old town of Porto at dusk light blends subtly with the centuries-old houses that accompany the hills leading down to the banks of the Douro River. Margins that accompanied the history of both the city as Portugal, it was the port that ships were supplied meat to soon venture in the Discovery of Brazil, Angola, Guinea, Cavo Verde and Goa in India, leaving the city's population the viscera of the animals.

The port wine is produced in the Douro region, the vineyards are terraced distributed by the steep banks of the Douro River. In this region creates a very favorable microclimate, soil is also special, is a soil schist which absorbs the sun's heat during the day and slowly releases during the night, which is great for the vines.
