Out for a walk yesterday evening at sunset, we saw a stage being set up in the square outside of the Municipal Building. Maybe preparing for celebrations in and around Liberation Day, on 25th April? It looks as though events are planned.
@crossingthethreshold Freedom Day is a big thing here. Huge rally in Lisbon, and big ones all over the country. Bigger in traditionally communist/socialist areas of the country, and Alcácer is right in one of those.
