Summer shall not fade...
...But thy eternal summer shall not fade, Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st; ..., William Shakespeare. Just as the summer shall not fade, V&G shall not and will never lose its fair beauty. Beauty in the choices of content, in its quality, in its format, and in the people who make it happen. It is summer. The temperatures are high and your desire is, of course, to slow down and «go». Just «go». And why not «go» without a destination? Who knows, it might be an incredible and enriching challenge. To make that long-held and perhaps unrepeatable dream of a(some) summer night(s) away. Summer arrives and the heart awakens, bursting with feelings. It is the magic of life. The sun awakens with a different energy. Just like this new isssue, which gives you a taste of incredible places such as the trip to the Singita Lodges in Tanzania, places that guarantee harmony with nature; the Bairro Alto Hotel, in the heart of Lisbon, where the history of the building blends with the history of the people and the country, with a view from the rooftop that you’ll fall in love with; Lefay Resort & Spa, in Italy, a building that rises up from the luminous scenery of the Dolomites, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO; a city break in Tallinn, Estonia, a place where the cold reigns, even in warmer times. And, also, in this issue, we talk to people who ennoble our minds and pass on much of their wisdom, such as architect Ricardo Azevedo, with his practice in Santo Tirso; businessman Fortunato Frederico, the man of the footwear industry in Portugal, owner of Fly London, the largest national brand with an international foothold; and because it’s summer, we couldn’t miss the words of the Secretary of State for Tourism, Commerce and Services, Rita Marques, who tells us that the sector has been «reborn». With so much to discover in this issue, all that remains is to wish you a happy and adventurous summer, always in the company of some good reading with V&G.
