Leixoes

The Port of Leixoes rests on an artificial harbor off the Atlantic Ocean on Portugal’s northern shores in the town of Matosinhos. The City of Porto can not have a deep-water harbor due to a sandbar that blocks access to the river. The Port of Leixoes, an artificial harbor, is protected by two curved breakwaters. The Port of Leixoes exports the city of Porto’s most famous product, port wine, which was named after the city that makes it.
