Singing the Janeiras


Guests in the bar of the Hotel Garbe were delighted when this local group entertained them on 6th January.

Singing the Janeiras is a tradition that was passed from generation to generation, from grandparents to parents and from parents to children.

People used to go, in organised in groups, along the streets singing songs, stopping outside houses to sing in exchange for a slice of chourica or a drink.
