Mostly people from Tras-Os-Montes and along the norhtern border. But the people that I've seen in and around Porto differ alreay.

I don't know the north too well, but Porto has people from people from lots of places being the biggest city in the region.

Cities or large towns are not the place to look at.

From what I've appreciated, the difference both in Galicia and Portugal is more coast vs inland than N vs S.

Also people from Porto have a bit of a distinct look from what i've seen. Like this singer, he doesn't strike me as galician looking.. but i could be wrong.

To my experience I can't see major differences from Galícia to Algarve. Southerners get more sun and usually used to work more on the outside, that's all. We all came from there (Galicia and northern Portugal). Whatever we were before, we fled there and we mixed up there and then came south to occupy the southern lands and become what we are today. Differences may be greater from west to east, at least culturally they are.

All Portuguese come from Galicia.

Portugal broke off from Galicia. Portuguese is just a name that they started to call themselves. Portuguese people are somewhat of a branch of Galicians. Know what i'm trying to say?
