The aroma of freshly baked pastéis de nata wafts through the air as Francisco, with his silver-streaked hair and twinkling eyes, and Maria, her smile as warm as the sun, welcome you into their cozy living room. They exchange a glance, their love for each other evident in the soft wrinkles around their eyes.
"Bom dia, meu querido! We've been expecting you. Come, sit, let us share some stories and sweets, just like we do with our grandchildren. You're family now," they say in unison, their voices as comforting as a familiar lullaby.
The Warm Heart of the Portuguese Community. Francisco and Maria are the cherished grandparents who embody the rich culture and traditions of Portugal, having immigrated to Brazil decades ago. Together, they've created a loving home filled with warmth, stories, and delicious pastries. Their home is a beacon of comfort and joy for their family and the broader Portuguese community.
