Porta XI Ensino CBF, also known for sponsorship reasons as Durán Maquinaria Ensino is a Spanish women's basketball team, currently competing in the Spanish First Division.

History

Founded in 1980 as CD Ensino, the club debuted in the third tier of the Spanish league system, called 2ª División Nacional, with most players coming from the Compañía de María school in Lugo. In its seventh season, the club finished 3rd and promoted to the second tier league, called the 1ª División B. The club played in this division for seven of the next eight seasons, with a relegation to the third tier and an immediate promotion, until 1995, when they were promoted for the first time to the first tier league, called Primera División, with Manel Sánchez as coach.

The club played for 12 consecutive seasons in the Spanish top tier league, since its promotion in 1995 to its relegation in 2007, finishing third in three seasons (1999, 2000, 2004). Its best regular season was in 1998-99, when they finished first. In addition it reached the final of the national Cup twice (1999, 2002), with Juan Corral as coach.

After eleven seasons and five failed promotion playoffs, Ensino came back to Liga Femenina in 2018. It achieved a streak of 19 consecutive wins, including the four games of the promotion playoffs, in the third season of Juan Nécega as head coach. ^[1][2]
