Cláudia Pascoal and Isaura visited the Altice Arena, the venue which will host the three Eurovision Song Contest shows next May. Eventhough the core work force will be hitting the venue in 2 days time, the technical team has already started work inside the arena.

The Portuguese hopefuls visited the arena along with António Raminhos in order to film for RTP’s Missão: 100% Português show and we were spellbound when they saw the ongoing preparations for the upcoming contest.
