This will go perfectly with the Feast Day of Sao Goncalo in the beautiful Portuguese town of Amarante. (Google it yourself.)

That is really funny. I hope this thread isn't removed :)

Very few things that not comes with a festival in Spain, so a bit surprised that this one wasn't on the map earlier :-)

Of course it shouldn't be removed as the article exposes, yet again, Google Translate's fallibility. But, it is free so towns and tourists use it. Oh well.

The mistake might lead to a new feria.

It was reported in La voz de Galicia much to the amusement of almost everyone.
