Welcome Reception Tuesday, 14 September 2010 18.30

 

The Welcome Reception will take place in the Lisboa Congress Centre, which is situated in close vicinity to the beautiful Tagus River. Enjoy the pleasant view to the riverside while partaking of the culinary specialties of Portuguese cuisine. A traditional show of the “Pauliteros de Miranda” will be presented. This is a time-honoured group dance from the North of Portugal (Miranda). It used to be performed by men only because it is a dance with sticks, reminiscent of the wars the Celts brought to the Iberian Peninsula when the various tribes spread through the countries of Western Europe. The dance is full of colour, expression and life where traditional instruments such as gaita de fole, caixa bombo, and the flauta pastoral are used.

 

All participants, exhibitors and registered accompanying persons are invited to the Welcome Reception. Costs are included in registration fee. Please wear your badge.
