Sagres
Sagres stands at the extreme south-west of Europe, a town forever faithful to its origins. Within the south-western Nature Park, Sagres is a traditional fishing town built on magnificent cliffs that have been sculpted by Nature and time. Sagres is steeped in history; it was from here that, in the 15th century, Prince Henry the Navigator planned and organised Portugal’s journey of discovery to the new world. In Sagres, time has a different value.
Testimonials
"Exhibits, concerts, lectures and talks set three days on a inspiring venue. Three days that place back the frontline status on creation for what’s looked-for in the future of surfing. Forget any hipster pretension: yes, let’s celebrate an alternative lifestyle, but also provoke its action potential in the society.”
"Unique event in Portugal. Sagres Surf Culture combines the passion for surfing with creativity. The venue, the diversity of creative proposals and the exchange of experiences create a very special energy in this event.”
“Those who missed Sagres Surf Culture previous editions, lost more than a surprising outlook of what’s been done in the Portuguese field of arts with the surfing as unifying element and Sagres as the venue. They also missed the opportunity to make new friends and moments of sharing and experience. It’s one of the must-go events of the year for those who live surfing beyond appearances.”
"Sagres Surf Culture is the event f the year. Aggregator, differentiating and pioneer while presenting new paths for the world of surfing. It’s a must for the understanding of an already highly evolving culture. A permanent interchange...I don’t loose one!”
"Altruism, sharing and the strengthening of surfing community. This is Sagres Surf Culture.”
