What makes the Portugal calendar unique
Every country celebrates some New Year; the Portugal signature lives in the other dates: Restauração da Independência (Restoration of Independence, 1 décembre), found in no other country in the dataset. The longest dry spell of the year runs from Ano Novo (1 janvier) to Sexta-feira Santa (3 avril): 92 straight days without a single nationwide holiday. In 2027, there will be 13 nationwide holidays and Restauração da Independência will fall on a mercredi (1 décembre).
