The program Stopover, by TAP, is a unique opportunity to visit two sites for the price of one.

You can do this on a long-half flight (round trip or one way) or if Lisbon is the final destination of your trip.

With Portugal Stopover you can take advantage of special offers and experiences.

When the time of stay is short and every minute counts Fado can not be missed: from the intense experience of 1 hour of fado with the daily project Fado Inside the Box at the Adega Machado to the experience that continues along the night, also in the other houses of fados, Café Luso and Timpanas.

Travel journalists and bloggers from around the world are increasingly accepting the invitation to visit our fado houses as Fado’s top reference places in Lisbon.

One of the most recent visitors was the north-american travel writer Vera Holroyd who travels with her family.

She was enchanted with the Portuguese fado and gastronomy at Adega Machado and now writes the article that opens our appetite.

Her motto is “Live that life. The one that gives you breath and. takes your breath away “(Nayyirah Waheed)

If you are planning a night of fados take into account this suggestion.

Dinner one of our most appreciated proposals, Fresh Fish of the Day, choice of Chef Aléxis Gregório.

If Fado does not bring you to tears, it is possible that this fish dish will make you cry for more.

“Singing is always a joy, but even more so at this age, because it is not easy to still have a little voice to dare to sing.”

The phrase, spoken these days by the fado singer Celeste Rodrigues, reveals her lucidity, the humility that personifies and dispels those who preach it, the feelings and vitality that run through this fado singer, from head to foot, and express themselves on a delicate and sonic wire of voice.

In her honor, some Fado friends joined the stage of the Tivoli BBVA Theater in Lisboa: Teresinha Landeiro, Fábia Rebordão, Kátia Guerreiro, Duarte, Hélder Moutinho and Jorge Fernando.

She was accompanied by Pedro Castro (Portuguese guitar), André Ramos (viola), Francisco Gaspar (bass guitar), and also the great-grandson Gaspar Varela (Portuguese guitar).

Celeste Rodrigues, dean of the fado, is by many respected and cherished. Every Friday and Saturday she goes to Bairro Alto, to the oldest fado house in Lisbon, Café Luso, where Portuguese and foreigners surrender to her presence, always waiting for the audacity to sing, as she likes, can and can.

Contrary to what even many Portuguese suppose, Fado has everything to do with the songs of the marches that represent the neighborhoods of Lisbon.

The festivities of the Popular Saints take place with the sound of popular music, the joyful root of Fado. The communities and parish councils of the most typical districts of Lisbon call the people to parade and support.

Fado singer Yola Dinis, from the cast of Café Luso, was godmother of the Bairro Alto march in 2015. This year the support of the Café Luso fado will be heard on Radio SIM.
