Project news
*I've proposed that Grande Área Metropolitana do Porto be moved to Greater Porto, please check the article talk page and give your opinion. Page moved.
 * List of Porto metro stations has been redirected to the main Porto Metro article, as it contained no separate information and there is no point in maintaining two lists, especially given the pace of change in the metro at the moment.

Hi! This is not parishes in the sense we use in Portugal, these are "freguesias". Porto has many more parishes. I don't know for sure, but I think they are 28.For ex. Ramalde has the parishe of Ramalde proper and N. Sra. da Boavista, Cedofeita has Cedofeita and Carvalhido, Campanhã has Campanhã and S. Pedro de Azevedo and so on.
