It has become a tradition for the Portuguese president to choose cities across the world to hold official national day celebrations. This year’s festivities took place in the Portuguese city of Porto, Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo in Brazil.
Here in The Hague, the Ambassador of Portugal, H.E. Mrs. Rosa Batoréu, celebrate Portugal’s National Day with a reception at her residence.
Hundreds of invitees turn out to congratulate Ambassador Batoréu. Everybody was in a good mood and enjoyed the Portuguese wines and snacks, including the excellent bolinhos de bacalhau.
