No one knows if she came from the earth or fell from the sky as music \u2014 but one thing\u2019s for sure: she\u2019s here and there, sowing love, silly dances, and dreams wrapped in musical notes.

Matilde Fachada<\/h4> Doutora Lenga Lena<\/h1> <\/div> He was born in the middle of the sea, although he doesn\u2019t know exactly where, and his parents fell in love on a boat. Cheerful, good-humored, and naive, he is curious about the world and delights in small things like soap bubbles, flying seagulls, or the foam of the waves. He always wants to dance. He lives in a caravan in Lisbon with a troupe of clowns he considers his family, but he would love to have five children and be a father, because he believes life is more beautiful when shared. He falls in love easily, loves traveling, and discovering foods from different countries, with chocolate mousse with fleur de sel \u2014 which reminds him of the sea \u2014 being his favorite. Vain, he likes to see himself in the mirror and always wears too much perfume so the scent lingers in the air. He often talks to himself, as if several people lived inside him, turning every conversation into a small show. He has a phobia of fishermen, adores all creatures and animals, and his home is filled with shells and conch. And if you ever find him dancing alone on some street, know that he is simply following the secret rhythm he carries within him. Ahhh, and he would love to be in a movie where he could sing, dance, and be in the sea. Can you guess who he is?<\/p> [\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1485354113019{padding-right: 30px !important;padding-left: 30px !important;}”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=”nd_options_text_align_center” css=”.vc_custom_1638891730758{background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”]

One day she woke up in a moliceiro (traditional Portuguese boat) and has been traveling the world ever since in that same boat. She likes constantly changing places and has a perpetual restlessness inside her, which makes her always want to be on the move. She is very absent-minded, but she isn\u2019t aware of it, so she even thinks she\u2019s super attentive and in control. She likes to follow rules, but being a scatterbrain, she never even notices them. She is extremely nosy and likes to know everything about everyone. She is always happy, and the people around her are all amazing. She is fascinated by everything and everyone. She is naive and believes everything she is told. She gets bored very easily. She loves sardines; her favorite dish is sardines \u00e0 bulha with a duck, and she craves this meal whenever she feels bored (which is almost always). She has a particular hatred for octopuses and despises tentacles. Her favorite dessert is \u201cbaba de cavalo\u201d from her grandparents\u2019 farm, a delicacy cooked by her grandmother. She also loves \u201cDoce da Casa\u201d (any sweets she has at home).

She always feels she\u2019s too young for marriage or boyfriends and likes the idea of being a lifelong single. She comes from a family of nomads; each member is from a different place. Her father is the Guardian of the Ria, and her mother is the best cook, having won 18 awards\u2014one for each district of Portugal. She is very afraid of flying, so she travels everywhere by moliceiro. She loves wearing accessories and adores flamboyant earrings. She loves the Santos Populares festivals and always wants to be celebrating. Her favorite color is \u201cdonkey-grey when it gets dark.\u201d She dreams of one day climbing Mount Everest and jumping down dressed as a flying squirrel.

Alice Maia Coelho<\/h4> Doutora Cuca e Meia<\/h1> <\/div> Doutora Cuca e Meia is from Porto but firmly believes the best francesinhas are found in Vila do Conde. She\u2019s an expert in Prolonged Forgettology and is often seen practicing her cucaroling down the hospital corridors. She hates cardio and lives by the philosophy that one should only run if wild boars are involved. That said, much to her dismay, she always ends up running... after time itself (a side effect of her own expertise). She claims to be vegetarian, yet holds a deep grudge against peas and only pretends to like quinoa out of social courtesy. Despite it all, this doctor is a lovably sweet cuca, though slightly out of order \u2014 instead of giving you the time, she\u2019ll give you the half.<\/p> [\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1485354113019{padding-right: 30px !important;padding-left: 30px !important;}”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=”nd_options_text_align_center” css=”.vc_custom_1638891730758{background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”]

Surely she has a little guardian angel protecting her from all the stumbles (when her head isn\u2019t quite in order...), but every now and then, it\u2019s her body that pays the price for the wild adventures of her roaring twenties \u2014 adventures she never leaves for tomorrow. \u201cLet me pay, let me pay!\u201d She grew up in Pedrog\u00e3o Pequeno, a village close to her heart, but stands nearly 1.70m tall.

Awarded with prizes no one has ever heard of, he swears he\u2019s been given a standing ovation\u2026 but it was by mistake. Born in Matosinhos but living in the Village of Music, he always carries his faithful ukulele, which he plays with the precision of a broken clock. A specialist in invented musical notes, he graduated in Applied Out-of-Tune and holds a postgraduate degree in Unexpected Rhythms. He says life is like a good meat piano: best enjoyed slowly. His favourite pastime is trying to drink grape tea without spilling it (he\u2019s never succeeded) and believes that the right chord can change someone\u2019s day \u2014 but if it\u2019s the wrong one, at least it gets a laugh.

They say he showed up one day with a smile on his face, a screw in his pocket, and maybe another one a little loose. But whether that\u2019s true or not doesn\u2019t really matter \u2014 what counts is that ever since, he\u2019s been tightening the screws of joy wherever he goes. Doutor Parafuso is a specialist in fixing bad moods: wherever there\u2019s sadness, he gives a little tweak. He never walks in a straight line; he prefers winding paths \u2014 they\u2019re more interesting and have more people to greet. He has an easy laugh, one that\u2019s contagious, and a guffaw that sounds like a wrench turning: it opens any stuck heart. He talks to plants, walls, elevators, and of course, people \u2014 but never in a hurry. He wears a coat full of pockets \u2014 and in each one, he keeps a trick, a silly question, or a forgotten joke. He loves things that don\u2019t make sense. In fact, he deeply distrusts anything that makes too much sense. If someone tells him he\u2019s missing a screw, he thanks them. After all, that screw gave him the freedom to dance offbeat and smile out of time. He has only one weakness: he can\u2019t resist a dirty mirror. He\u2019ll always try to clean it \u2014 with his elbow, a tissue, or a song.<\/p> [\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1492616489248{margin-top: 30px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1638891210766{padding-right: 30px !important;padding-left: 30px !important;}”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=”nd_options_padding_20_first_div_important_responsive” css=”.vc_custom_1485536748235{border-top-width: 1px !important;border-right-width: 1px !important;border-bottom-width: 1px !important;border-left-width: 1px !important;padding-top: 40px !important;padding-right: 40px !important;padding-bottom: 40px !important;padding-left: 40px !important;border-left-color: #f1f1f1 !important;border-left-style: solid !important;border-right-color: #f1f1f1 !important;border-right-style: solid !important;border-top-color: #f1f1f1 !important;border-top-style: solid !important;border-bottom-color: #f1f1f1 !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;}”]

Matilde Fachada<\/h4> Doutora Lenga Lena<\/h1> <\/div> He was born in the middle of the sea, although he doesn\u2019t know exactly where, and his parents fell in love on a boat. Cheerful, good-humored, and naive, he is curious about the world and delights in small things like soap bubbles, flying seagulls, or the foam of the waves. He always wants to dance. He lives in a caravan in Lisbon with a troupe of clowns he considers his family, but he would love to have five children and be a father, because he believes life is more beautiful when shared. He falls in love easily, loves traveling, and discovering foods from different countries, with chocolate mousse with fleur de sel \u2014 which reminds him of the sea \u2014 being his favorite. Vain, he likes to see himself in the mirror and always wears too much perfume so the scent lingers in the air. He often talks to himself, as if several people lived inside him, turning every conversation into a small show. He has a phobia of fishermen, adores all creatures and animals, and his home is filled with shells and conch. And if you ever find him dancing alone on some street, know that he is simply following the secret rhythm he carries within him. Ahhh, and he would love to be in a movie where he could sing, dance, and be in the sea.

Surely she has a little guardian angel protecting her from all the stumbles (when her head isn\u2019t quite in order...), but every now and then, it\u2019s her body that pays the price for the wild adventures of her roaring twenties \u2014 adventures she never leaves for tomorrow. \u201cLet me pay, let me pay!\u201d She grew up in Pedrog\u00e3o Pequeno, a village close to her heart, but stands nearly 1.70m tall.

But whether that\u2019s true or not doesn\u2019t really matter \u2014 what counts is that ever since, he\u2019s been tightening the screws of joy wherever he goes. Doutor Parafuso is a specialist in fixing bad moods: wherever there\u2019s sadness, he gives a little tweak. He never walks in a straight line; he prefers winding paths \u2014 they\u2019re more interesting and have more people to greet. He has an easy laugh, one that\u2019s contagious, and a guffaw that sounds like a wrench turning: it opens any stuck heart. He talks to plants, walls, elevators, and of course, people \u2014 but never in a hurry. He wears a coat full of pockets \u2014 and in each one, he keeps a trick, a silly question, or a forgotten joke. He loves things that don\u2019t make sense. In fact, he deeply distrusts anything that makes too much sense. If someone tells him he\u2019s missing a screw, he thanks them. After all, that screw gave him the freedom to dance offbeat and smile out of time. He has only one weakness: he can\u2019t resist a dirty mirror. He\u2019ll always try to clean it \u2014 with his elbow, a tissue, or a song.<\/p> [\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1492616489248{margin-top: 30px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1638891210766{padding-right: 30px !important;padding-left: 30px !important;}”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=”nd_options_padding_20_first_div_important_responsive” css=”.vc_custom_1485536748235{border-top-width: 1px !important;border-right-width: 1px !important;border-bottom-width: 1px !important;border-left-width: 1px !important;padding-top: 40px !important;padding-right: 40px !important;padding-bottom: 40px !important;padding-left: 40px !important;border-left-color: #f1f1f1 !important;border-left-style: solid !important;border-right-color: #f1f1f1 !important;border-right-style: solid !important;border-top-color: #f1f1f1 !important;border-top-style: solid !important;border-bottom-color: #f1f1f1 !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;}”]

She can\u2019t stand still \u2014 and doesn\u2019t want to. She\u2019s always snapping her fingers like she\u2019s calling for new ideas, loves a good coffee (or two, or three), and melts for a pastel de nata. Her favorite color is the orange of the sunset, carrying within her the joy of the day\u2019s end with the promise of a new beginning. She once tried to hide her passion for The Beatles, but as soon as she hears \u201cAll You Need Is Love,\u201d the choreography just springs to life in her legs and her smile stretches from ear to ear. Doutora Lenga Lena lives in the moment but never gets lost \u2014 she finds herself in every laugh shared, every song sung, and every glance exchanged with those she meets. No one knows if she came from the earth or fell from the sky as music \u2014 but one thing\u2019s for sure: she\u2019s here and there, sowing love, silly dances, and dreams wrapped in musical notes. And beware: anyone who listens to this Lenga Lena\u2026 might just end up singing and dancing too!<\/p> [\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1492616489248{margin-top: 30px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1638891210766{padding-right: 30px !important;padding-left: 30px !important;}”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=”nd_options_padding_20_first_div_important_responsive” css=”.vc_custom_1485536748235{border-top-width: 1px !important;border-right-width: 1px !important;border-bottom-width: 1px !important;border-left-width: 1px !important;padding-top: 40px !important;padding-right: 40px !important;padding-bottom: 40px !important;padding-left: 40px !important;border-left-color: #f1f1f1 !important;border-left-style: solid !important;border-right-color: #f1f1f1 !important;border-right-style: solid !important;border-top-color: #f1f1f1 !important;border-top-style: solid !important;border-bottom-color: #f1f1f1 !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;}”]
Matilde Fachada<\/h4> Doutora Lenga Lena<\/h1> <\/div> He was born in the middle of the sea, although he doesn\u2019t know exactly where, and his parents fell in love on a boat. Cheerful, good-humored, and naive, he is curious about the world and delights in small things like soap bubbles, flying seagulls, or the foam of the waves. He always wants to dance. He lives in a caravan in Lisbon with a troupe of clowns he considers his family, but he would love to have five children and be a father, because he believes life is more beautiful when shared. He falls in love easily, loves traveling, and discovering foods from different countries, with chocolate mousse with fleur de sel \u2014 which reminds him of the sea \u2014 being his favorite. Vain, he likes to see himself in the mirror and always wears too much perfume so the scent lingers in the air. He often talks to himself, as if several people lived inside him, turning every conversation into a small show. He has a phobia of fishermen, adores all creatures and animals, and his home is filled with shells and conch. And if you ever find him dancing alone on some street, know that he is simply following the secret rhythm he carries within him. Ahhh, and he would love to be in a movie where he could sing, dance, and be in the sea. Can you guess who he is?<\/p> [\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1485354113019{padding-right: 30px !important;padding-left: 30px !important;}”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=”nd_options_text_align_center” css=”.vc_custom_1638891730758{background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”]

One day she woke up in a moliceiro (traditional Portuguese boat) and has been traveling the world ever since in that same boat. She likes constantly changing places and has a perpetual restlessness inside her, which makes her always want to be on the move. She is very absent-minded, but she isn\u2019t aware of it, so she even thinks she\u2019s super attentive and in control. She likes to follow rules, but being a scatterbrain, she never even notices them. She is extremely nosy and likes to know everything about everyone. She is always happy, and the people around her are all amazing. She is fascinated by everything and everyone. She is naive and believes everything she is told. She gets bored very easily. She loves sardines; her favorite dish is sardines \u00e0 bulha with a duck, and she craves this meal whenever she feels bored (which is almost always). She has a particular hatred for octopuses and despises tentacles. Her favorite dessert is \u201cbaba de cavalo\u201d from her grandparents\u2019 farm, a delicacy cooked by her grandmother. She also loves \u201cDoce da Casa\u201d (any sweets she has at home).

Her father is the Guardian of the Ria, and her mother is the best cook, having won 18 awards\u2014one for each district of Portugal. She is very afraid of flying, so she travels everywhere by moliceiro. She loves wearing accessories and adores flamboyant earrings. She loves the Santos Populares festivals and always wants to be celebrating. Her favorite color is \u201cdonkey-grey when it gets dark.\u201d She dreams of one day climbing Mount Everest and jumping down dressed as a flying squirrel.

Ricardo Folhento<\/h4> Doutor Adalberto Contratempo<\/h1> <\/div> Doutor Contratempo is a master in the art of entering on the wrong beat. Awarded with prizes no one has ever heard of, he swears he\u2019s been given a standing ovation\u2026 but it was by mistake. Born in Matosinhos but living in the Village of Music, he always carries his faithful ukulele, which he plays with the precision of a broken clock. A specialist in invented musical notes, he graduated in Applied Out-of-Tune and holds a postgraduate degree in Unexpected Rhythms. He says life is like a good meat piano: best enjoyed slowly. His favourite pastime is trying to drink grape tea without spilling it (he\u2019s never succeeded) and believes that the right chord can change someone\u2019s day \u2014 but if it\u2019s the wrong one, at least it gets a laugh. Doutor Contratempo recommends that everyone take breaks\u2026 musical and in life!<\/p> [\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1485354113019{padding-right: 30px !important;padding-left: 30px !important;}”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=”nd_options_text_align_center” css=”.vc_custom_1638891730758{background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”]

They say he showed up one day with a smile on his face, a screw in his pocket, and maybe another one a little loose. But whether that\u2019s true or not doesn\u2019t really matter \u2014 what counts is that ever since, he\u2019s been tightening the screws of joy wherever he goes. Doutor Parafuso is a specialist in fixing bad moods: wherever there\u2019s sadness, he gives a little tweak. He never walks in a straight line; he prefers winding paths \u2014 they\u2019re more interesting and have more people to greet. He has an easy laugh, one that\u2019s contagious, and a guffaw that sounds like a wrench turning: it opens any stuck heart. He talks to plants, walls, elevators, and of course, people \u2014 but never in a hurry. He wears a coat full of pockets \u2014 and in each one, he keeps a trick, a silly question, or a forgotten joke. He loves things that don\u2019t make sense. In fact, he deeply distrusts anything that makes too much sense. If someone tells him he\u2019s missing a screw, he thanks them. After all, that screw gave him the freedom to dance offbeat and smile out of time. He has only one weakness: he can\u2019t resist a dirty mirror. He\u2019ll always try to clean it \u2014 with his elbow, a tissue, or a song.<\/p> [\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1492616489248{margin-top: 30px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1638891210766{padding-right: 30px !important;padding-left: 30px !important;}”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=”nd_options_padding_20_first_div_important_responsive” css=”.vc_custom_1485536748235{border-top-width: 1px !important;border-right-width: 1px !important;border-bottom-width: 1px !important;border-left-width: 1px !important;padding-top: 40px !important;padding-right: 40px !important;padding-bottom: 40px !important;padding-left: 40px !important;border-left-color: #f1f1f1 !important;border-left-style: solid !important;border-right-color: #f1f1f1 !important;border-right-style: solid !important;border-top-color: #f1f1f1 !important;border-top-style: solid !important;border-bottom-color: #f1f1f1 !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;}”]

Matilde Fachada<\/h4> Doutora Lenga Lena<\/h1> <\/div> He was born in the middle of the sea, although he doesn\u2019t know exactly where, and his parents fell in love on a boat. Cheerful, good-humored, and naive, he is curious about the world and delights in small things like soap bubbles, flying seagulls, or the foam of the waves. He always wants to dance. He lives in a caravan in Lisbon with a troupe of clowns he considers his family, but he would love to have five children and be a father, because he believes life is more beautiful when shared. He falls in love easily, loves traveling, and discovering foods from different countries, with chocolate mousse with fleur de sel \u2014 which reminds him of the sea \u2014 being his favorite. Vain, he likes to see himself in the mirror and always wears too much perfume so the scent lingers in the air. He often talks to himself, as if several people lived inside him, turning every conversation into a small show. He has a phobia of fishermen, adores all creatures and animals, and his home is filled with shells and conch. And if you ever find him dancing alone on some street, know that he is simply following the secret rhythm he carries within him. Ahhh, and he would love to be in a movie where he could sing, dance, and be in the sea. Can you guess who he is?<\/p> [\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1485354113019{padding-right: 30px !important;padding-left: 30px !important;}”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=”nd_options_text_align_center” css=”.vc_custom_1638891730758{background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”]

She is very afraid of flying, so she travels everywhere by moliceiro. She loves wearing accessories and adores flamboyant earrings. She loves the Santos Populares festivals and always wants to be celebrating. Her favorite color is \u201cdonkey-grey when it gets dark.\u201d She dreams of one day climbing Mount Everest and jumping down dressed as a flying squirrel.

Alice Maia Coelho<\/h4> Doutora Cuca e Meia<\/h1> <\/div> Doutora Cuca e Meia is from Porto but firmly believes the best francesinhas are found in Vila do Conde. She\u2019s an expert in Prolonged Forgettology and is often seen practicing her cucaroling down the hospital corridors. She hates cardio and lives by the philosophy that one should only run if wild boars are involved. That said, much to her dismay, she always ends up running... after time itself (a side effect of her own expertise). She claims to be vegetarian, yet holds a deep grudge against peas and only pretends to like quinoa out of social courtesy. Despite it all, this doctor is a lovably sweet cuca, though slightly out of order \u2014 instead of giving you the time, she\u2019ll give you the half.<\/p> [\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1485354113019{padding-right: 30px !important;padding-left: 30px !important;}”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=”nd_options_text_align_center” css=”.vc_custom_1638891730758{background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”]

Surely she has a little guardian angel protecting her from all the stumbles (when her head isn\u2019t quite in order...), but every now and then, it\u2019s her body that pays the price for the wild adventures of her roaring twenties \u2014 adventures she never leaves for tomorrow. \u201cLet me pay, let me pay!\u201d She grew up in Pedrog\u00e3o Pequeno, a village close to her heart, but stands nearly 1.70m tall.

Awarded with prizes no one has ever heard of, he swears he\u2019s been given a standing ovation\u2026 but it was by mistake. Born in Matosinhos but living in the Village of Music, he always carries his faithful ukulele, which he plays with the precision of a broken clock. A specialist in invented musical notes, he graduated in Applied Out-of-Tune and holds a postgraduate degree in Unexpected Rhythms. He says life is like a good meat piano: best enjoyed slowly. His favourite pastime is trying to drink grape tea without spilling it (he\u2019s never succeeded) and believes that the right chord can change someone\u2019s day \u2014 but if it\u2019s the wrong one, at least it gets a laugh.

They say he showed up one day with a smile on his face, a screw in his pocket, and maybe another one a little loose. But whether that\u2019s true or not doesn\u2019t really matter \u2014 what counts is that ever since, he\u2019s been tightening the screws of joy wherever he goes. Doutor Parafuso is a specialist in fixing bad moods: wherever there\u2019s sadness, he gives a little tweak. He never walks in a straight line; he prefers winding paths \u2014 they\u2019re more interesting and have more people to greet. He has an easy laugh, one that\u2019s contagious, and a guffaw that sounds like a wrench turning: it opens any stuck heart. He talks to plants, walls, elevators, and of course, people \u2014 but never in a hurry. He wears a coat full of pockets \u2014 and in each one, he keeps a trick, a silly question, or a forgotten joke. He loves things that don\u2019t make sense. In fact, he deeply distrusts anything that makes too much sense. If someone tells him he\u2019s missing a screw, he thanks them. After all, that screw gave him the freedom to dance offbeat and smile out of time. He has only one weakness: he can\u2019t resist a dirty mirror. He\u2019ll always try to clean it \u2014 with his elbow, a tissue, or a song.<\/p> [\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1492616489248{margin-top: 30px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1638891210766{padding-right: 30px !important;padding-left: 30px !important;}”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=”nd_options_padding_20_first_div_important_responsive” css=”.vc_custom_1485536748235{border-top-width: 1px !important;border-right-width: 1px !important;border-bottom-width: 1px !important;border-left-width: 1px !important;padding-top: 40px !important;padding-right: 40px !important;padding-bottom: 40px !important;padding-left: 40px !important;border-left-color: #f1f1f1 !important;border-left-style: solid !important;border-right-color: #f1f1f1 !important;border-right-style: solid !important;border-top-color: #f1f1f1 !important;border-top-style: solid !important;border-bottom-color: #f1f1f1 !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;}”]

Matilde Fachada<\/h4> Doutora Lenga Lena<\/h1> <\/div> He was born in the middle of the sea, although he doesn\u2019t know exactly where, and his parents fell in love on a boat. Cheerful, good-humored, and naive, he is curious about the world and delights in small things like soap bubbles, flying seagulls, or the foam of the waves. He always wants to dance. He lives in a caravan in Lisbon with a troupe of clowns he considers his family, but he would love to have five children and be a father, because he believes life is more beautiful when shared. He falls in love easily, loves traveling, and discovering foods from different countries, with chocolate mousse with fleur de sel \u2014 which reminds him of the sea \u2014 being his favorite. Vain, he likes to see himself in the mirror and always wears too much perfume so the scent lingers in the air. He often talks to himself, as if several people lived inside him, turning every conversation into a small show. He has a phobia of fishermen, adores all creatures and animals, and his home is filled with shells and conch. And if you ever find him dancing alone on some street, know that he is simply following the secret rhythm he carries within him. Ahhh, and he would love to be in a movie where he could sing, dance, and be in the sea.

His father was the first producer of P\u00e3o de L\u00f3 de Ovar without eggshells, and his mother was a famously certified fishmonger \u2014 proudly verified by the GDF (General Directorate of Fishmongery).

She\u2019s an expert in Prolonged Forgettology and is often seen practicing her cucaroling down the hospital corridors. She hates cardio and lives by the philosophy that one should only run if wild boars are involved. That said, much to her dismay, she always ends up running... after time itself (a side effect of her own expertise). She claims to be vegetarian, yet holds a deep grudge against peas and only pretends to like quinoa out of social courtesy. Despite it all, this doctor is a lovably sweet cuca, though slightly out of order \u2014 instead of giving you the time, she\u2019ll give you the half.<\/p> [\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1485354113019{padding-right: 30px !important;padding-left: 30px !important;}”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=”nd_options_text_align_center” css=”.vc_custom_1638891730758{background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”]

A lifelong fan of her great-uncle, the legendary Varia\u00e7\u00f5es who needs no introduction, she\u2019s definitely inherited the family flair. Surely she has a little guardian angel protecting her from all the stumbles (when her head isn\u2019t quite in order...), but every now and then, it\u2019s her body that pays the price for the wild adventures of her roaring twenties \u2014 adventures she never leaves for tomorrow. \u201cLet me pay, let me pay!\u201d She grew up in Pedrog\u00e3o Pequeno, a village close to her heart, but stands nearly 1.70m tall. From there, she spread like a stubborn weed \u2014 a tough clay to shape. She\u2019s lived in Coimbra, Figueira da Foz, Castelo Branco, Caldas da Rainha, Pampilhosa da Serra... and she\u2019ll keep searching for her world and her place, because until now she\u2019s just...

Ricardo Folhento<\/h4> Doutor Adalberto Contratempo<\/h1> <\/div> Doutor Contratempo is a master in the art of entering on the wrong beat. Awarded with prizes no one has ever heard of, he swears he\u2019s been given a standing ovation\u2026 but it was by mistake. Born in Matosinhos but living in the Village of Music, he always carries his faithful ukulele, which he plays with the precision of a broken clock. A specialist in invented musical notes, he graduated in Applied Out-of-Tune and holds a postgraduate degree in Unexpected Rhythms. He says life is like a good meat piano: best enjoyed slowly. His favourite pastime is trying to drink grape tea without spilling it (he\u2019s never succeeded) and believes that the right chord can change someone\u2019s day \u2014 but if it\u2019s the wrong one, at least it gets a laugh.

They say he showed up one day with a smile on his face, a screw in his pocket, and maybe another one a little loose. But whether that\u2019s true or not doesn\u2019t really matter \u2014 what counts is that ever since, he\u2019s been tightening the screws of joy wherever he goes. Doutor Parafuso is a specialist in fixing bad moods: wherever there\u2019s sadness, he gives a little tweak. He never walks in a straight line; he prefers winding paths \u2014 they\u2019re more interesting and have more people to greet. He has an easy laugh, one that\u2019s contagious, and a guffaw that sounds like a wrench turning: it opens any stuck heart. He talks to plants, walls, elevators, and of course, people \u2014 but never in a hurry. He wears a coat full of pockets \u2014 and in each one, he keeps a trick, a silly question, or a forgotten joke. He loves things that don\u2019t make sense. In fact, he deeply distrusts anything that makes too much sense. If someone tells him he\u2019s missing a screw, he thanks them. After all, that screw gave him the freedom to dance offbeat and smile out of time. He has only one weakness: he can\u2019t resist a dirty mirror. He\u2019ll always try to clean it \u2014 with his elbow, a tissue, or a song.<\/p> [\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1492616489248{margin-top: 30px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1638891210766{padding-right: 30px !important;padding-left: 30px !important;}”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=”nd_options_padding_20_first_div_important_responsive” css=”.vc_custom_1485536748235{border-top-width: 1px !important;border-right-width: 1px !important;border-bottom-width: 1px !important;border-left-width: 1px !important;padding-top: 40px !important;padding-right: 40px !important;padding-bottom: 40px !important;padding-left: 40px !important;border-left-color: #f1f1f1 !important;border-left-style: solid !important;border-right-color: #f1f1f1 !important;border-right-style: solid !important;border-top-color: #f1f1f1 !important;border-top-style: solid !important;border-bottom-color: #f1f1f1 !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;}”]

Matilde Fachada<\/h4> Doutora Lenga Lena<\/h1> <\/div> He was born in the middle of the sea, although he doesn\u2019t know exactly where, and his parents fell in love on a boat. Cheerful, good-humored, and naive, he is curious about the world and delights in small things like soap bubbles, flying seagulls, or the foam of the waves. He always wants to dance. He lives in a caravan in Lisbon with a troupe of clowns he considers his family, but he would love to have five children and be a father, because he believes life is more beautiful when shared. He falls in love easily, loves traveling, and discovering foods from different countries, with chocolate mousse with fleur de sel \u2014 which reminds him of the sea \u2014 being his favorite. Vain, he likes to see himself in the mirror and always wears too much perfume so the scent lingers in the air. He often talks to himself, as if several people lived inside him, turning every conversation into a small show. He has a phobia of fishermen, adores all creatures and animals, and his home is filled with shells and conch. And if you ever find him dancing alone on some street, know that he is simply following the secret rhythm he carries within him. Ahhh, and he would love to be in a movie where he could sing, dance, and be in the sea.

Doutora Cuca e Meia is from Porto but firmly believes the best francesinhas are found in Vila do Conde. She\u2019s an expert in Prolonged Forgettology and is often seen practicing her cucaroling down the hospital corridors. She hates cardio and lives by the philosophy that one should only run if wild boars are involved. That said, much to her dismay, she always ends up running... after time itself (a side effect of her own expertise). She claims to be vegetarian, yet holds a deep grudge against peas and only pretends to like quinoa out of social courtesy. Despite it all, this doctor is a lovably sweet cuca, though slightly out of order \u2014 instead of giving you the time, she\u2019ll give you the half.<\/p> [\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1485354113019{padding-right: 30px !important;padding-left: 30px !important;}”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=”nd_options_text_align_center” css=”.vc_custom_1638891730758{background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”]

Surely she has a little guardian angel protecting her from all the stumbles (when her head isn\u2019t quite in order...), but every now and then, it\u2019s her body that pays the price for the wild adventures of her roaring twenties \u2014 adventures she never leaves for tomorrow. \u201cLet me pay, let me pay!\u201d She grew up in Pedrog\u00e3o Pequeno, a village close to her heart, but stands nearly 1.70m tall.

Ricardo Folhento<\/h4> Doutor Adalberto Contratempo<\/h1> <\/div> Doutor Contratempo is a master in the art of entering on the wrong beat. Awarded with prizes no one has ever heard of, he swears he\u2019s been given a standing ovation\u2026 but it was by mistake. Born in Matosinhos but living in the Village of Music, he always carries his faithful ukulele, which he plays with the precision of a broken clock. A specialist in invented musical notes, he graduated in Applied Out-of-Tune and holds a postgraduate degree in Unexpected Rhythms. He says life is like a good meat piano: best enjoyed slowly. His favourite pastime is trying to drink grape tea without spilling it (he\u2019s never succeeded) and believes that the right chord can change someone\u2019s day \u2014 but if it\u2019s the wrong one, at least it gets a laugh.

They say he showed up one day with a smile on his face, a screw in his pocket, and maybe another one a little loose. But whether that\u2019s true or not doesn\u2019t really matter \u2014 what counts is that ever since, he\u2019s been tightening the screws of joy wherever he goes. Doutor Parafuso is a specialist in fixing bad moods: wherever there\u2019s sadness, he gives a little tweak. He never walks in a straight line; he prefers winding paths \u2014 they\u2019re more interesting and have more people to greet. He has an easy laugh, one that\u2019s contagious, and a guffaw that sounds like a wrench turning: it opens any stuck heart. He talks to plants, walls, elevators, and of course, people \u2014 but never in a hurry. He wears a coat full of pockets \u2014 and in each one, he keeps a trick, a silly question, or a forgotten joke. He loves things that don\u2019t make sense. In fact, he deeply distrusts anything that makes too much sense. If someone tells him he\u2019s missing a screw, he thanks them. After all, that screw gave him the freedom to dance offbeat and smile out of time. He has only one weakness: he can\u2019t resist a dirty mirror. He\u2019ll always try to clean it \u2014 with his elbow, a tissue, or a song.<\/p> [\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1492616489248{margin-top: 30px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1638891210766{padding-right: 30px !important;padding-left: 30px !important;}”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=”nd_options_padding_20_first_div_important_responsive” css=”.vc_custom_1485536748235{border-top-width: 1px !important;border-right-width: 1px !important;border-bottom-width: 1px !important;border-left-width: 1px !important;padding-top: 40px !important;padding-right: 40px !important;padding-bottom: 40px !important;padding-left: 40px !important;border-left-color: #f1f1f1 !important;border-left-style: solid !important;border-right-color: #f1f1f1 !important;border-right-style: solid !important;border-top-color: #f1f1f1 !important;border-top-style: solid !important;border-bottom-color: #f1f1f1 !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;}”]

Cheerful, good-humored, and naive, he is curious about the world and delights in small things like soap bubbles, flying seagulls, or the foam of the waves. He always wants to dance. He lives in a caravan in Lisbon with a troupe of clowns he considers his family, but he would love to have five children and be a father, because he believes life is more beautiful when shared. He falls in love easily, loves traveling, and discovering foods from different countries, with chocolate mousse with fleur de sel \u2014 which reminds him of the sea \u2014 being his favorite. Vain, he likes to see himself in the mirror and always wears too much perfume so the scent lingers in the air. He often talks to himself, as if several people lived inside him, turning every conversation into a small show. He has a phobia of fishermen, adores all creatures and animals, and his home is filled with shells and conch. And if you ever find him dancing alone on some street, know that he is simply following the secret rhythm he carries within him. Ahhh, and he would love to be in a movie where he could sing, dance, and be in the sea.

Doutora Violeta is irredeemably colorful \u2014 probably the best way to describe her. A lifelong fan of her great-uncle, the legendary Varia\u00e7\u00f5es who needs no introduction, she\u2019s definitely inherited the family flair. Surely she has a little guardian angel protecting her from all the stumbles (when her head isn\u2019t quite in order...), but every now and then, it\u2019s her body that pays the price for the wild adventures of her roaring twenties \u2014 adventures she never leaves for tomorrow. \u201cLet me pay, let me pay!\u201d She grew up in Pedrog\u00e3o Pequeno, a village close to her heart, but stands nearly 1.70m tall. From there, she spread like a stubborn weed \u2014 a tough clay to shape. She\u2019s lived in Coimbra, Figueira da Foz, Castelo Branco, Caldas da Rainha, Pampilhosa da Serra... and she\u2019ll keep searching for her world and her place, because until now she\u2019s just... (everyone together)... well, being a clown! The rush to arrive is real \u2014 she knows how time flies, even if she\u2019s sometimes late. But love is not about time, nor does time make love. Free, brilliant, and proudly vain, Doutora Violeta Varia\u00e7\u00f5es never lets life slip away. She chases lost dreams and always has a pick-up song up her sleeve.<\/p> [\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1492616489248{margin-top: 30px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1638891210766{padding-right: 30px !important;padding-left: 30px !important;}”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=”nd_options_padding_20_first_div_important_responsive” css=”.vc_custom_1485536748235{border-top-width: 1px !important;border-right-width: 1px !important;border-bottom-width: 1px !important;border-left-width: 1px !important;padding-top: 40px !important;padding-right: 40px !important;padding-bottom: 40px !important;padding-left: 40px !important;border-left-color: #f1f1f1 !important;border-left-style: solid !important;border-right-color: #f1f1f1 !important;border-right-style: solid !important;border-top-color: #f1f1f1 !important;border-top-style: solid !important;border-bottom-color: #f1f1f1 !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;}”]
Ricardo Folhento<\/h4> Doutor Adalberto Contratempo<\/h1> <\/div> Doutor Contratempo is a master in the art of entering on the wrong beat. Awarded with prizes no one has ever heard of, he swears he\u2019s been given a standing ovation\u2026 but it was by mistake. Born in Matosinhos but living in the Village of Music, he always carries his faithful ukulele, which he plays with the precision of a broken clock. A specialist in invented musical notes, he graduated in Applied Out-of-Tune and holds a postgraduate degree in Unexpected Rhythms. He says life is like a good meat piano: best enjoyed slowly. His favourite pastime is trying to drink grape tea without spilling it (he\u2019s never succeeded) and believes that the right chord can change someone\u2019s day \u2014 but if it\u2019s the wrong one, at least it gets a laugh.

They say he showed up one day with a smile on his face, a screw in his pocket, and maybe another one a little loose. But whether that\u2019s true or not doesn\u2019t really matter \u2014 what counts is that ever since, he\u2019s been tightening the screws of joy wherever he goes. Doutor Parafuso is a specialist in fixing bad moods: wherever there\u2019s sadness, he gives a little tweak. He never walks in a straight line; he prefers winding paths \u2014 they\u2019re more interesting and have more people to greet. He has an easy laugh, one that\u2019s contagious, and a guffaw that sounds like a wrench turning: it opens any stuck heart. He talks to plants, walls, elevators, and of course, people \u2014 but never in a hurry. He wears a coat full of pockets \u2014 and in each one, he keeps a trick, a silly question, or a forgotten joke. He loves things that don\u2019t make sense. In fact, he deeply distrusts anything that makes too much sense. If someone tells him he\u2019s missing a screw, he thanks them. After all, that screw gave him the freedom to dance offbeat and smile out of time. He has only one weakness: he can\u2019t resist a dirty mirror. He\u2019ll always try to clean it \u2014 with his elbow, a tissue, or a song.<\/p> [\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1492616489248{margin-top: 30px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1638891210766{padding-right: 30px !important;padding-left: 30px !important;}”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=”nd_options_padding_20_first_div_important_responsive” css=”.vc_custom_1485536748235{border-top-width: 1px !important;border-right-width: 1px !important;border-bottom-width: 1px !important;border-left-width: 1px !important;padding-top: 40px !important;padding-right: 40px !important;padding-bottom: 40px !important;padding-left: 40px !important;border-left-color: #f1f1f1 !important;border-left-style: solid !important;border-right-color: #f1f1f1 !important;border-right-style: solid !important;border-top-color: #f1f1f1 !important;border-top-style: solid !important;border-bottom-color: #f1f1f1 !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;}”]

Matilde Fachada<\/h4> Doutora Lenga Lena<\/h1> <\/div> He was born in the middle of the sea, although he doesn\u2019t know exactly where, and his parents fell in love on a boat. Cheerful, good-humored, and naive, he is curious about the world and delights in small things like soap bubbles, flying seagulls, or the foam of the waves. He always wants to dance. He lives in a caravan in Lisbon with a troupe of clowns he considers his family, but he would love to have five children and be a father, because he believes life is more beautiful when shared. He falls in love easily, loves traveling, and discovering foods from different countries, with chocolate mousse with fleur de sel \u2014 which reminds him of the sea \u2014 being his favorite. Vain, he likes to see himself in the mirror and always wears too much perfume so the scent lingers in the air. He often talks to himself, as if several people lived inside him, turning every conversation into a small show. He has a phobia of fishermen, adores all creatures and animals, and his home is filled with shells and conch. And if you ever find him dancing alone on some street, know that he is simply following the secret rhythm he carries within him. Ahhh, and he would love to be in a movie where he could sing, dance, and be in the sea.

Doutor Contratempo is a master in the art of entering on the wrong beat. Awarded with prizes no one has ever heard of, he swears he\u2019s been given a standing ovation\u2026 but it was by mistake. Born in Matosinhos but living in the Village of Music, he always carries his faithful ukulele, which he plays with the precision of a broken clock. A specialist in invented musical notes, he graduated in Applied Out-of-Tune and holds a postgraduate degree in Unexpected Rhythms. He says life is like a good meat piano: best enjoyed slowly. His favourite pastime is trying to drink grape tea without spilling it (he\u2019s never succeeded) and believes that the right chord can change someone\u2019s day \u2014 but if it\u2019s the wrong one, at least it gets a laugh. Doutor Contratempo recommends that everyone take breaks\u2026 musical and in life!<\/p> [\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1485354113019{padding-right: 30px !important;padding-left: 30px !important;}”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=”nd_options_text_align_center” css=”.vc_custom_1638891730758{background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”]

Matilde Fachada<\/h4> Doutora Lenga Lena<\/h1> <\/div> He was born in the middle of the sea, although he doesn\u2019t know exactly where, and his parents fell in love on a boat. Cheerful, good-humored, and naive, he is curious about the world and delights in small things like soap bubbles, flying seagulls, or the foam of the waves. He always wants to dance. He lives in a caravan in Lisbon with a troupe of clowns he considers his family, but he would love to have five children and be a father, because he believes life is more beautiful when shared. He falls in love easily, loves traveling, and discovering foods from different countries, with chocolate mousse with fleur de sel \u2014 which reminds him of the sea \u2014 being his favorite. Vain, he likes to see himself in the mirror and always wears too much perfume so the scent lingers in the air. He often talks to himself, as if several people lived inside him, turning every conversation into a small show. He has a phobia of fishermen, adores all creatures and animals, and his home is filled with shells and conch. And if you ever find him dancing alone on some street, know that he is simply following the secret rhythm he carries within him. Ahhh, and he would love to be in a movie where he could sing, dance, and be in the sea. Can you guess who he is?<\/p> [\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1485354113019{padding-right: 30px !important;padding-left: 30px !important;}”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=”nd_options_text_align_center” css=”.vc_custom_1638891730758{background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”]

She is very absent-minded, but she isn\u2019t aware of it, so she even thinks she\u2019s super attentive and in control. She likes to follow rules, but being a scatterbrain, she never even notices them. She is extremely nosy and likes to know everything about everyone. She is always happy, and the people around her are all amazing. She is fascinated by everything and everyone. She is naive and believes everything she is told. She gets bored very easily. She loves sardines; her favorite dish is sardines \u00e0 bulha with a duck, and she craves this meal whenever she feels bored (which is almost always). She has a particular hatred for octopuses and despises tentacles. Her favorite dessert is \u201cbaba de cavalo\u201d from her grandparents\u2019 farm, a delicacy cooked by her grandmother. She also loves \u201cDoce da Casa\u201d (any sweets she has at home).

Her father is the Guardian of the Ria, and her mother is the best cook, having won 18 awards\u2014one for each district of Portugal. She is very afraid of flying, so she travels everywhere by moliceiro. She loves wearing accessories and adores flamboyant earrings. She loves the Santos Populares festivals and always wants to be celebrating. Her favorite color is \u201cdonkey-grey when it gets dark.\u201d She dreams of one day climbing Mount Everest and jumping down dressed as a flying squirrel.

They say singing chases away your troubles, but dancing does too! And if it\u2019s to the sound of The Beatles, then it\u2019s a guaranteed hit! Straight from Coimbra comes Doutora Lenga Lena, who may lack a bit of common sense but overflows with enthusiasm. She can\u2019t stand still \u2014 and doesn\u2019t want to. She\u2019s always snapping her fingers like she\u2019s calling for new ideas, loves a good coffee (or two, or three), and melts for a pastel de nata. Her favorite color is the orange of the sunset, carrying within her the joy of the day\u2019s end with the promise of a new beginning. She once tried to hide her passion for The Beatles, but as soon as she hears \u201cAll You Need Is Love,\u201d the choreography just springs to life in her legs and her smile stretches from ear to ear. Doutora Lenga Lena lives in the moment but never gets lost \u2014 she finds herself in every laugh shared, every song sung, and every glance exchanged with those she meets. No one knows if she came from the earth or fell from the sky as music \u2014 but one thing\u2019s for sure: she\u2019s here and there, sowing love, silly dances, and dreams wrapped in musical notes. And beware: anyone who listens to this Lenga Lena\u2026 might just end up singing and dancing too!<\/p> [\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1492616489248{margin-top: 30px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1638891210766{padding-right: 30px !important;padding-left: 30px !important;}”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=”nd_options_padding_20_first_div_important_responsive” css=”.vc_custom_1485536748235{border-top-width: 1px !important;border-right-width: 1px !important;border-bottom-width: 1px !important;border-left-width: 1px !important;padding-top: 40px !important;padding-right: 40px !important;padding-bottom: 40px !important;padding-left: 40px !important;border-left-color: #f1f1f1 !important;border-left-style: solid !important;border-right-color: #f1f1f1 !important;border-right-style: solid !important;border-top-color: #f1f1f1 !important;border-top-style: solid !important;border-bottom-color: #f1f1f1 !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;}”]
Matilde Fachada<\/h4> Doutora Lenga Lena<\/h1> <\/div> He was born in the middle of the sea, although he doesn\u2019t know exactly where, and his parents fell in love on a boat. Cheerful, good-humored, and naive, he is curious about the world and delights in small things like soap bubbles, flying seagulls, or the foam of the waves. He always wants to dance. He lives in a caravan in Lisbon with a troupe of clowns he considers his family, but he would love to have five children and be a father, because he believes life is more beautiful when shared. He falls in love easily, loves traveling, and discovering foods from different countries, with chocolate mousse with fleur de sel \u2014 which reminds him of the sea \u2014 being his favorite. Vain, he likes to see himself in the mirror and always wears too much perfume so the scent lingers in the air. He often talks to himself, as if several people lived inside him, turning every conversation into a small show. He has a phobia of fishermen, adores all creatures and animals, and his home is filled with shells and conch. And if you ever find him dancing alone on some street, know that he is simply following the secret rhythm he carries within him. Ahhh, and he would love to be in a movie where he could sing, dance, and be in the sea.

She is from Aveiro. One day she woke up in a moliceiro (traditional Portuguese boat) and has been traveling the world ever since in that same boat. She likes constantly changing places and has a perpetual restlessness inside her, which makes her always want to be on the move. She is very absent-minded, but she isn\u2019t aware of it, so she even thinks she\u2019s super attentive and in control. She likes to follow rules, but being a scatterbrain, she never even notices them. She is extremely nosy and likes to know everything about everyone. She is always happy, and the people around her are all amazing. She is fascinated by everything and everyone. She is naive and believes everything she is told. She gets bored very easily. She loves sardines; her favorite dish is sardines \u00e0 bulha with a duck, and she craves this meal whenever she feels bored (which is almost always). She has a particular hatred for octopuses and despises tentacles. Her favorite dessert is \u201cbaba de cavalo\u201d from her grandparents\u2019 farm, a delicacy cooked by her grandmother. She also loves \u201cDoce da Casa\u201d (any sweets she has at home). She is the youngest of many sisters\u2014she can\u2019t even count how many\u2014so she always thinks she\u2019s super young and doesn\u2019t need to take much responsibility. She always feels she\u2019s too young for marriage or boyfriends and likes the idea of being a lifelong single. She comes from a family of nomads; each member is from a different place. Her father is the Guardian of the Ria, and her mother is the best cook, having won 18 awards\u2014one for each district of Portugal. She is very afraid of flying, so she travels everywhere by moliceiro. She loves wearing accessories and adores flamboyant earrings. She loves the Santos Populares festivals and always wants to be celebrating. Her favorite color is \u201cdonkey-grey when it gets dark.\u201d She dreams of one day climbing Mount Everest and jumping down dressed as a flying squirrel. When asked where she lives, she says: \u201cHere and there!\u201d<\/p> [\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
