This year RIU is celebrating 20 years in Cape Verde! It has been no less than two decades since the hotel chain first arrived in this wonderful destination, famous for the&nbsp;<em>morabeza<\/em>&nbsp;of its people, which is simply put, their incredible hospitality. Since then, the Mallorcan company has grown in terms of hotel numbers, but also in experience, memories and the individuals that form part of the incredible RIU family in this archipelago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Vers\u00e3o 4\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Z9cxIdpffnY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To celebrate this special date, the Riu Funana hotel, located on Sal Island, hosted the&nbsp;<strong>Cape Verde 20th Anniversary Gala<\/strong>&nbsp;in its Barracuda Theatre.

In the early days, he was also responsible, alongside F\u00e9lix, for recruiting workers for that first hotel, visiting different neighbourhoods to present the RIU project.
