Day 5 in Sétima Onda

As always, the media room was packed when Miguel Garcia and Hugo Viana, both currently playing for Sporting de Braga, made their first press conference organized by Sétima Onda.
It was not a big secret that Miguel Garcia is now moving east to play for Turkey's Orduspor, but it was good to hear from the player himself the motivation behind it. The mood was good and may have been a bit influenced by “Marquês dos Vales” wines which were introduced by Aníbal Neto, the always enthusiastic representative of the wine and art farm Quinta dos Vales, during the conference and lunch.
Absolutely stunning weather complimented an event which was well worth attending. The sculpture-paintings from several art projects like “Passion”, “Graces” and Dança dos Ursos” found an open eye from the attending media and will be seen now in a lot more publications all over Portugal.
