New Year Program: Flavours and sounds of Lusophone Culture
4 days | 3 nights
This year, we pay tribute to the Portuguese language and to the cultures that have shaped it, reinvented it, and kept it alive across time and borders. Because the Portuguese language is made of many voices — of accents and melodies, of intertwined stories and shared paths. It is a language of seas sailed, of unexpected encounters, of flavors that tell stories.
Over the course of four days, travel with us through the intense flavours of Mozambique, let yourself be moved by the vibrant music of Cape Verde, feel the contagious energy of Brazil, and immerse yourself in the refreshing waters of São Tomé and Príncipe. A tribute to the roots, to the stories we share, and to the power of a language that unites us — timeless, plural, profoundly ours.
Malhadinha. Where tradition meets the world.
