FADO SHOW WITH DINNER (3 HRS)(70 EUR) A shawl, a Portuguese guitar, a voice and a lot of feeling. A symbol of Portugal, this simple image can describe fado, a world’s music born in Portugal. In its essence, it sings to feeling, to the disillusionment of love, to the longing for someone who went away, to daily life and to conquests. The ups and downs of life are an infinite source of inspiration. They say that fado is the feeling which comes out from the Portuguese soul and that no divisions must be made. However, some venture to distinguish between professionals and aficionados. The former makes of her/his voice her/his livelihood. The latter, also known as vadio, has other characteristics, even if the nostalgic nature is the same. - Round-trip bus service from and to the Hotel. - Fado show and dinner with drinks included.. 15 number of people required.
