Con ayuda de guías expertos reconstruirá las historias que contaban las abuelitas, cuando las tardes y noches eran alrededor de los viejos aparatos de radio que presentaban a los primeros artistas en vivo en las radios *porteñas* y cómo se hacían las serenatas en las calles de la ciudad.

Explanation:
Welcome to Guayaquil, Ecuador´s largest city and main port. Until now it was mainly a destination for business travelers. But Guayaquil is transforming itself and is on its way of becoming a tourist destination. Besides the Guayaquileños are open, colorful and lively people.

Mariano M. Vitetta: Ojo, Juan: porteño no es igual a ser de Buenos Aires, sino de la Ciudad de Bs. As., que antes se llamaba Capital Federal. La relación con el puerto surge porque lo tenemos acá, en la Capital.

Buenosairean/Buenos Aires radio

Explanation:
He visto siempre el término "Buenosairean" para traducir porteño/a; aunque no está en ningún diccionario por lo que estuve buscando.
Sé que algunos traductores aquí en Argentina no los convence y entonces utilizan "Buenos Aires + sust"....
Pero creo que Buenosairean es toda una innovación después de todo! hahaha :o) Usaría éste con seguridad!

Saludos y espero que te sirva!

"Porteño" is the one coming from Buenos Aires city (capital city).
Bonaerense is the one coming from Buenos Aires Province.

"Porteño" means the one coming from the port, but we never translate it that way.

I believe "buenosairean" solves the problem in case you are not quite sure whether it means from the capital city or from the province, because I've seen it used in both ways.

Cheers! :o)

I apologize, I didnt see it was Guayaquil ... In this case I would say "port city of Guayaquil"!
