Agua dulce - encuentro milonguero de enero 2027

22 – 24 january 2027, Ravenna

Will we see you in Ravenna in January?!

Ravenna – UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1996 – is worldwide known for its artistic and architectural beauty: from the beginning of the 1st millennium it became an Imperial city where “…buildings, basilicas, mausoleums, everything had to express wealth and authority, charm and power, to meet the needs of the new… capital of the Western Roman Empire.” (follow the paths to UNESCO monuments)

In the old city center, stone alleys guide us through low houses, squares and urban meadows, where architecture becomes a treasure trove of art: the greatest mosaic heritage of the Ancient World (5th and 6th centuries A.D.) to be visited by walking or cycling.

The event

Following our tradition, also for this encuentro we have chosen a historic center, this time it’s Ravenna. For art and culture enthusiasts this is a real gem, a city to be loved at first sight, that you can walk through: Piazza del Popolo is a living room, San Vitale’s Basilica a jewel, baptisteries, basilicas, tombs and mausoleums pop up one after another…

Breaks in the historic venues of the center are a must, as is -right in front of the event venue- the discovery of the Mercato Coperto: the commercial heart as early as 1254, in 1915 it was rebuilt as we see it, in 2008 it was recognized as being of historic and artistic significance, and since 2019 it has been restored and returned to the city as a center of cultural interest: history, as well as food and wine tradition, all for you to enjoy!

However, Ravenna is not only UNESCO World Heritage Site, but also an artistic and social hub: from the Darsena river to the sea, industrial archeology and street art come together on a path projected towards the future.

More informations and details

The Encuentro

The Bracci-Minzoni Palace (now Albergo Cappello), a noble residence and example of 15th-century Venetian architecture, will host our event: The milongas will be in the Yachting Room, while–on the ground floor–the Restaurant and Enoteca will be the location for our convivial breaks.

The program will allow us to dedicate ourselves to Tango, indeed, but also to explore the city.

Those who choose the Risto Pass will benefit from the excellent cuisine of the Cappello Restaurant, which will take care of the Lunch Buffets and Served Dinners.

The Bar

For our breaks between tandas, we will have two options: in the milonga there’s a refreshment corner and on the ground floor the Enoteca’s American Bar.
(direct payment by consumption)

The Table

Outside the ‘Pass Baile,’ we have planned the usual convivial moments to share some time with friends at the table under the banner of sociability and cheerfulness.

If you decide to gather at the table with all of us, Lunch Buffets and Served Dinners are bookable directly from the registration form: you can build your own Risto Pack and pick the option(s) you prefer.

It’s not mandatory to book dinners and lunches in order to join Agua Dulce.

Your Stay

…also outside the Pass Baile, a truly interesting option to turn your stay in Ravenna into an experience in its own right.

Just off the porticoes of Piazza del Popolo, only 350 metres from the encuentro venue, La Reunion offers highly competitive rates and accommodation options for both those who enjoy sharing their stay with friends without giving up their privacy, and those who prefer the comfort of a suite with an exclusive touch, always combining comfort with excellent value for money (one- and two-bedroom apartments with a terrace and fully equipped kitchen, with breakfast directly in your suite).

Visit LA REUNION Exclusive ApartHotel at Via Corrado Ricci 29.
Here, the design tells stories of the world, the antiques tell the story of a family, and the atmosphere speaks of warmth, beauty and hospitality.
