Valborgsfirande i Lissabon

VALBORG 2010

Valborg is celebrated by Swedes all over the world on the 30th of April. Here in Portugal we have celebrated Valborg on Praia da Conceição in Cascais. Earlier on we had a big bonfire on the beach, the children sang beautiful spring songs, we grown-ups tried to sing too, we held a speech to Spring and all brought picnics to be had on the beach.

Lately we have experienced great difficulties in getting authorization from the Cascais Port Authority to organize our meeting on the beach and even more difficulties in having our traditional bonfire even though we promised to make it as small as possible.

This year the Nordic Club and SWEA have decided to change the venue of the Party to the DOM CARLOS CLUB and start a new Valborg tradition for all Nordics in the great Lisbon area. Here we will be able to have our small bonfire and all the traditions of yesteryear including singing by children from the Swedish School and a speech dedicated to SPRING!

On the way to Guincho we discovered what we believe is the perfect spot to celebrate Valborg. It is a secluded and beautiful place in the Marinha area close to Areia. Coming from Guincho you reach the first rotunda in Areia. On the right in the rotunda you will find a sign for CLUB DOM CARLOS, turn in through the gate and follow the narrow sandy lane for a far as you can (passing tennis courts on your right), we will attach some balloons at the gate for your guidance. When you can get no further over the sand dunes, there is a parking place and the Club will be in front of you.

The cost for the evening, which includes drinks and a delicious Scandinavian dinner, will be
€ 25.00 per adult, children between 5 and 12 will pay € 12.00 smaller children are at no cost.
