Thousands of people in Aliados to see the traditional inauguration of the Christmas tree

Not even the, occasional, rain that fell last night, scared away thousands of people from the inauguration of the traditional Christmas Tree, located in front of the building of the Porto City Hall, and the typical lighting of this season, that extends, this year, on more than 90 streets and squares in the city. The night got even brighter with the performance of Diogo Piçarra, in Avenida dos Aliados.
