[Diogo Remoaldo]

You are setting all spaces on the titlepage by hand, making it to big to fit in one page.
\vfill \normalsize{Porto, Julho de 2015}
Notice the \vfill not to use a fixed space, but flush the location and date to the very bottom.

[Diogo Remoaldo]

Yes but the first page is completly blank, how can I change it?

[Stefan Kottwitz]

Hi Diogo,

did you try what Johannes said?

Generally, when something doesn't fit on the page, it goes to the next page. If this would apply what Johannes, said, that your title page is too big, it's clear: it goes to the next page. This would explain the empty page.

I got the blank page myself in my tests and was able to remove it by \vfill. I bet the picture is just a bit too spacy.
