Portuguese Village
Portuguese Village is a colourful inner city neighbourhood in Toronto that is bounded by Bathurst Street, Dundas Street West, Queen Street West, and by Trinity Bellwoods Park, around which the community is centred. This is the heartland of Toronto's large Portuguese community (mostly originally from the Azores and Madeira islands). Currently, this area is in the process of gentrification, following its surrounding neighbourhoods. Many of the Portuguese residents, as they become more affluent, are moving to the suburbs, and in their place a new, young generation are taking their place.
