Dia de Portugal

10th June

Portugal's National Day is June 10th and is regularly celebrated in Bristol, led by Porto born but Bristol based Claudia Aurora. The 10th June was the day that the famous Portuguese poet Luís de Camões, died in 1580. Luís de Camões was the author of one of the most important works in Portuguese literature "Os Lusíadas". This collection of poems celebrates Portugal's epic history and the voyages of discovery which brought the land and it's people fame and fortune. Today it is the day the Portuguese remember their roots, get together and party, listen to Portuguese music, drink a glass of port, visit a Portuguese restaurant or read Os Lusíadas. The Bristol Oporto Association enjoys celebrating Dia de Portugal with our Portuguese cousins.

And Claudia Aurora, as the leaflet points out, is often found singing Fado in local restaurants and clubs and singing her heart away.
