Experience It! The Sounds of Fado Music When visiting Lisbon, spending a night at a casa de Fado, (Fado restaurant), is
an essential experience. Traditional Portuguese cuisine…savory local
wines…and the magical sounds of Fado. The songs of the Fado are based on the
feeling known simply as saudade. Though no precise word can properly translate
saudade, it is often described as a combination of deep nostalgia, strong desire
and melancholy feelings. Fado songs tell stories of happiness and sadness, of
love and jealousy. Even musical experts cannot agree on the true origin of Fado.
Although the word comes from the Latin fatum, meaning fate, some believe its
drawn-out laments are a legacy of the Moorish occupation. Others say it
developed from an African dance in Brazil, and according to another theory, the
melancholy character of the music evolved from Portuguese seafarers who sang
of home during their long absences at sea.
It emerged as a Bohemian art form in Lisbon's working-class districts of Alfama
and Mouraria in the late 18th century and gradually moved up-market. But it was
Amalia Rodrigues in the 20th century who made Fado known beyond Portugal,
performing all over the world. She's been credited with defining the style of the
music and when she died in 1999, the government declared three days of national
mourning and awarded her a state funeral. A national icon, she is buried in
Lisbon's National Pantheon.

Queluz National Palace is one of Portugal's most sumptuous palaces. Built in 1747, the palace was long used as the
summer residence for royals and is the country's finest example of Rococo architecture. Nowadays, this palace is used
by the Portuguese State as a residence for government and state chiefs that visit Portugal. Located in one of the
palace’s wings is Cozinha Velha Restaurant; once the kitchen of the palace, it still has the charm of yesteryear.
Cozinha Velha is an endearing place, built in grand style with the original rectangular layout and structures. Today, it
is considered one of Portugal’s finest restaurants with a colorful dining room favored by those seeking a gourmet
dinner in a romantic setting. The dining room is like a small chapel, with high stone arches, a free-standing fireplace,
marble columns and a 20-ft marble table laden with baskets of fruit and vases of flowers. Enjoy a delightful 3 course
dinner prepared according to the most genuine recipes of Portuguese traditional cuisine, complete with wine, coffee or
tea and mineral water. Duration: Approximately 3 hours. Please note a minimum of 25 passengers is required.
