Portugal and Portuguese

10 de Junho - Dia de Portugal, de Camões e das Comunidades Portuguesas

Day of Portugal, Camões, and the Portuguese communities.
On this day, died Luíz Vaz de Camões, 1580, a Portuguese poet, known for 'Os Lusíadas'. Hence, the holiday.
You can say it's a day to celebrate Portugal and the Portuguese language all over the world.
You can find several events along the country, but usually it's celebrated in Belém, at Jerónimos Monastery where you can find Camões's tomb.
As always a military parade has place, as well as 21 'salvas' from a navy/naval ship for the president's presence at the event.
This year, due to the pandemic, there was just a few people present, never forgeting the distancing measures.
