😌Final Thoughts…


​🏆​⚽​Let's talk about another icon of Portugal, I named the phenomenal Cristiano Ronaldo, who can be placed among the Greats, like the unforgettable Eusébio, or our beloved Diogo Jota🫶, or Edson Arantes do Nascimento, known as Pelé, or Diego Maradona, nicknamed Pibe Del Oro, or the incomparable Olivier Giroud, or even, Zinedine Zidane known as Zizou...


“Cristiano Ronaldo’s iconic “SIUUU” celebration was born spontaneously in August 2013:


⚽ The Origin


It was performed for the first time during a pre-season friendly match with Real Madrid against Chelsea, at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami. After scoring a headed goal, Ronaldo ran towards the corner post, jumped, spun in the air and landed with his arms outstretched.


⚽ Meaning and Evolution


The word comes from the Spanish “Sí”, which simply means “Yes”. Ronaldo explained that it was a natural cry to express a victory or a scored goal.


Sound transformation: Over time, the cry has evolved from a simple "Sí" to a long "Siuuuu", partly because of the way fans extend the sound in stadiums.


Globalization: Ronaldo popularized this cry during the 2014 Ballon d'Or award, where he shouted "SIUUU" on stage after his speech.

Currently at the Al-Nassr club in Saudi Arabia, Ronaldo continues to resonate his “SIUUU” regularly... »

​Our Store

It is in the unmissable Alfama, whose colorful houses and winding cobbled streets that remind its Moorish origins give it its picturesque charm, that we set up our store in 2013.

 

This neighborhood which has remained authentic, nestled in the very heart of Lisbon, lives at nightfall to the rhythm of fado, a song full of emotion recounting love, life, nostalgia for the past, listened to in establishments dedicated to this art and tradition, is also a reflection of the soul of its city.

In our premises you will find local crafts, portuguese tiles, sardines, swallows, cork and ceramic...  

In addition to essential souvenirs our own creations ranging from photography to jewelry complete our eclectic choice, some pieces of which are offered for sale on the Etsy platform.​
