CARNIVAL

It’s “carnaval” in Brazil and the hottest spots at this time of the year are the beaches.



Carnival is the wildest party (in the purest sense of this expression) we have. It’s not only about the big and famous parades in Rio de Janeiro, for most Brazilians travel to small coastal cities in order to play hard for, at least, four straight days. 

You might have been asking, however, why these two beautiful and quiet beach spots, between the states of Espírito Santo and Rio de Janeiro, are illustrating this post.


Well, excepting the four days of carnival, those places are just like this and, unless you come during the “crazy party”, that’s the way you’re going to find them.

Carnival is my lovely holiday. This grandiose celebration, a yearly gathering of thousands of merrymakers, who dance and watch the Samba School parades, attracts a significant number of foreign visitors. Last year I intently bought a property in Brazil in the opposite of Marques de Sapucai Avenue, where carnival takes place. Carnival is also present in the schedules of several other Brazilian cities, attracting the interest of a great many foreigners who visit Brazil. São Paulo follows Rio’s example, and it too puts on some lively Samba School parades; in Pernambuco, it is the merrymakers of Olinda and Recife who, wearing fancy costumes, dancing in the streets following music groups on floats and maracatus, and carrying the famous gigantic dolls are the ones who stand out; in Salvador, capital of Bahia, the fun is provided by trios eletricos, mobile stages which attract thousands of followers, dancing along behind them, until sunrise, to the sound of the axe music from Bahia.
