Description
Clubs were the great centres for meeting and socializing in the last century. Gathering in the Porto Café, at Aliados Avenue, a group of locals created the Clube Carnavalesco Fenianos Portuenses [Fenian Carnival Club of Porto] in 1904, with the plan of bringing the sophistication of carnivals of other capitals to the city. Rafael Bordalo Pinheiro, Teixeira Lopes or Almada Negreiros were some of the well-know names to design fenian parades. In this club resides also the oldest choir of Porto and much more: illusionism, ballroom dancing, theatre, billiards, artistic residences, auditorium, rooms and halls, unique views facing the Aliados Avenue, a first edition of Voltaire amongst the 40.000 books in the library, the reading room… the inner life of a centennial club.
