The geographical location of Porto, in the north-west
of the Iberian Peninsula, lends to the city a high average
solar exposure. Its being next to the Atlantic Sea makes
for a pleasant, if relatively humid climate.
With 263.131 inhabitants, it is one of Portugal’s largest
cities, and the main pole of attraction for employment
of the country’s northern region (Região Norte),
particularly regarding activities of the tertiary sector. Of
the approximately 220.000 people who work in Porto,
a vast majority of 75 % carries out activities of that kind,
namely of a financial nature, or in social among other
services, mainly in work related to health and education.
