Porto, the undefeated city in the north of Portugal, is represented in the form of an artistic sardine. This avant-garde creation combines elements rich in history with modern design and reflects the character of the city. The sardine features typical Porto features such as the azulejos, the D. Luís Bridge, Rabelo boats, the Douro River and colorful houses. It symbolizes a vibrant, cosmopolitan city that combines tradition and progress. The hand-crafted sardine is decorated with high-quality paints and decals, giving it an intense shine. In keeping with the historical tradition of sardine selling in Lisbon, each piece is packaged in a newspaper sleeve. This unique sardine is a tribute to Porto and embodies the spirit of a city that conquers hearts.
The Sardinha de Lisboa has become a symbol of the city of Lisbon. During the festivities for Saint Anthony (Santo António), the patron saint of Lisbon, the streets of the city are decorated with colorful sardine figures. This festival takes place every year in June and attracts many visitors.
