History of March Equinox in Portugal and How to Celebrate/ Observe It

In Portugal, the March equinox occurs when the sun is directly over the country’s meridian. This happens at around noon, and marks the beginning of spring in the Northern Hemisphere. For the rest of the day, the sun will be higher in the sky than it was at any other time during the year. The days will now get longer and the nights shorter, as the sun slowly moves northward. This change is gradual, but by the end of March the days will be noticeably longer than they were at the beginning of the month.
