Syrian refugees, the Civil War & Cascais
There are 2 chefs de cuisine: Miguel (mediterranean food) and a Syrian refugee. His story is a very sad one: “I worked for an American company in Damascus. In 2010 the building was blown up by a missile. And then one day a Pickup car stopped outside our house, suddenly there was a machine- gun fire. I could rescue my wife and children, but my mother was killed…..”
“Then I realized I had to leave my country as soon as possible. Fortunately, I had some cash, and also gold jewelry. I found someone who brought us to Jordan. There, while waiting for better times to return to Syria, I got the chance to leave Jordan, and now I ended up in Portugal, in Cascais. The people here are very nice to us!”
