New Year in Portugal

If you’re weighing up the best place to spend New Year’s Eve in Portugal, picture Passagem de Ano as sociable and outdoorsy: twelve raisins at midnight (doze passas), a toast with espumante, and a slice of bolo‑rei the next day.

The Christmas season is upon us and if you are living or planning to live in Portugal you might as well start getting acquainted with all the traditions.
