Portuguese is a global language, spoken by more than 260 million people, equivalent to 3.7% of the world’s population. As a way to celebrate World Portuguese Language Day, we set out on a virtual journey through the places of paradise where Portuguese is the official language. It was a very difficult choice and we are, as always, open to your suggestions in the comments space.
