Maia is a suburb of Porto. It lies in the northern part of the city. The Porto airport is located in Maia. Maia is both a suburb of Porto and a self sustaining city in its own right. One major industry is textiles. When I read in the Landīs End catalog about Portuguese clothe, I wonder if it was woven in this district. Many of these textile factories have a large English ownership. Many of the families attending th Oporto British School where in Portugal because of the textile industry.
