Not just anywhere, but in a traditional grill restaurant that combines the authentic essence of Spanish cuisine with contemporary touches. When we think of Spanish cultural heritage, the art of flamenco comes to mind. It is not just music or dance; it is a profound expression of the Spanish peopleยดs character, a unique language conveyed through notes and body movements. Flamenco is pure passion and feeling , artistically accompanied by guitars, castanets, percussion, clapping, and the frenetic and resonant footwork. We cannot forget the timeless beauty of the flamenco dresses , iconic and constantly evolving, yet always true to their roots. The evening will begin with a delicious dinner , and once we have our glass of sangria in hand, a group of dancers, singers, and musicians, on a nearby stage, will make us feel the full passion and power of flamenco . They will showcase few of its most well-known artistic forms: bulerรญas, seguidillas, fandangos, and sevillanas. Donยดt miss the unique opportunity to immerse yourself in this fusion of flamenco art and rich Spanish cuisine , one of the most diverse in the world!

We will see the Santa justa elevator, one of the ex-libris of Lisbon and the energetic Augusta street. Next, we start to approach Lisbonยดs oldest hill, its first settlement, Alfama Hill, home to Phoenicians, Romans, Muslims and Christian kings. As we start to climb, we will see the church of St. Anthony, where this Portuguese saint was born, and Lisbon Cathedral, its oldest church dating back to the 12th century, always with the yellow trams as our companions, always going up and down the traditional hill.

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 worldโ€™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.
