Reunion's localization Reunion Island is in the east of Madagascar and 200 kilometers southwest of Mauritius, the nearest island.
Reunion’s population According to the 2013 census, there are 840 974 people living on the island. Reunion’s population today is naturally of mixed race, bearing witness to the island’s history. The various types are familiarly known as: Cafres , Zarabs, Malbars, Chinois, Yab and Zoreil (Malagasy, Africans, Indians, Chinese, Europeans). Reunion's people come from 3 continents at least!
Reunionese music Reunionese music is based on two original styles, in the deep roots: the maloya and the sĂŠga. The maloya is similar to a ternary blues. Music of the afro-Malagasy slaves, it existed for a long time in the underground. More European by its rhythms and its instruments, the sĂŠga is the dance for parties.
Reunionese cooking Reunionese cooking is a tasteful alliance of spices, enhanced by hot chili pepper, the harmony with the tropical climate. This art of cooking was passed on from generation to generation. From a simple base, the multiplicity has given a full range of cooking dishes. A small rite wants that the rice is placed at the bottom of the plate, that grains are added on the top and lastly, the dish. Rougails (spicy dish) and achards are served in a plate separately.
Reunion’s climate
●
Reunion benefits from a tropical climate softened by the breezes of the Indian Ocean. The year is divided up into two long periods: the warm and humid season, from November to April, and the fresher and drier season which runs from May to October. Sugar was traditionally the chief agricultural product. Tourism is now an important source of income and it’s a paradise for the hiking lovers!.
