Timetable: 9:30 PM; Man in Catarse, since 2013 the project solo multi-instrumentalist and composer Afonso Dorido, has just launched the third long- term "seven fountains", fruit of an artistic residency in gnration, Braga. In a period of catharsis and intermittencies, the "Man in Catarse" found himself in front of a piano and discovered himself playing serenely, walking around places of Braga, real and imaginary. The surprising album was featured in the newspaper Público, Antena3, the site Comunidade Cultura e Arte and many others. Now performing live, a space where your music reaches the limit of intensity. And once again, by hitting the road, it demonstrates its versatility. The project "seven sources", will be presented in full on the stage of Cine-Teatro Garrett, at the piano, and with projection modeling and images.

The Estela course was built over three kilometres of beautiful sand dunes along the Minho coast, providing breathtaking views over the Atlantic Ocean. Situated near the lively summer resort of Póvoa de Varzim and only 20 minutes from Porto´s international airport, this course was designed by the Portuguese architect Duarte Sottomayor and is a typical links course in the best Scottish traditions, apart from its use of Bermuda grass.

Two large lakes add to the beauty of the course, which can become quite challenging when the wind is blowing. Inaccurate drives are severely punished by landing in the sand dunes and, on almost every occasion that a ball lands off the fairway, there is little chance of players reaching the green with their second shot.

It was voted the seventh best Portuguese course in the biennial poll organised by the European Golf magazine and has already hosted two European Tour events: the Portuguese Open in 1991 and the Atlântico/Vinho Verde Open in 1990.

Póvoa de Varzim Póvoa de Varzim

This ancient settlement was given a charter in the fourteenth century, although it was not until the eighteenth century that it began to be known as an important fishing port, when a large number of fishermen settled here and soon formed a tight-knit community.

The excellent beach, which is a most popular attraction in the summer season, was the main driving force behind the town`s development and it is now a busy resort offering visitors a full range of hotels, a golf course, a casino and excellent facilities for all kinds of sports.

In the surrounding region, the town of São Pedro de Rates, which was once the municipal seat, is well worth a special visit, particularly its Romanesque church built from the eleventh to the thirteenth century, as well as the eighteenth-century former town hall and pillory.
