The Festival Sete Sóis Sete Luas was born in 1993 and gave its name to a Culture Network that currently involves 30 cities and towns in 13 countries in the Mediterranean and Portuguese-speaking world (Brazil, Cape Verde, Croatia, Slovenia, Spain, France, Greece, Israel, Italy, Morocco, Portugal, Romania and Tunisia).
