Fantastic costumes, convincing acting and beautiful music. The European Day was celebrated on 9th May.

In the afternoon we went on an excursion, stopped at the famous Portuguese writer Nobel Prize winner Jose di Souza Saramago monument. May 10th was a day of sightseeing. Early in the morning we went on a walk to Sintra, an ancient Portuguese royal resting place, to see the Sintra Castle, walk along the small, luminous streets, look around at the souvenir shops, and then went to Lisbon in the afternoon. We walked to Lisbon's old town, enjoyed the charming Lisbon architecture, got to know the most significant cultural and historical monuments, looked at the old wooden trams that are still on the usual route.
