Known as the Escola do Porto, this educational building has nurtured and supported the careers of the many famous architects that have passed through their doors. The food there is absolutely delicious, consisting of a variety of influences including Spanish, Mexican, and Mediterranean. The diets there are extremely rich and plentiful in fruits, vegetables, olive oil, meats, and cheeses, spicing everything up with their own unique blend of spices and herbs.
