HISTORY & CULTURE
The development of a Malagasy identity is intimately linked to the emergence of
Antananarivo (Tana) as a capital: this is the home of the kings who brought together the is-
land's tribes. As one Malagasy put it, 'to understand our history is to understand us'.
GASTRONOMY
Foodies of the world, rejoice, Tana's got fusion cuisine down to a T. Imagine French gastro-
nomy, prepared with the freshest Malagasy ingredients, add a soupçon of Creole, a smidgen
of Indian, and voilà!
