We completely agree, provided you are aware that this may come at a slightly higher cost if you want a private room, especially when talking about an organized group program.

Cape Verdean poultry farming is very rich and quite healthy from a biological point of view, since our agriculture is basically subsistence-based and not industrial, with no large-scale production, and is done strictly by families.
In this regard, we can offer vegetables, greens, corn, beans, fresh fish, etc., and various other traditional Cape Verdean dishes based on these same ingredients.
