All beaches in Brazil are FREE. And unlike here in the US, it's legal to drink alcohol (without the brown bag)! Try caipirinha, our national drink.
People usually spend the whole day in the beach. We eat, play, swim, sun bathe, nap, until the sun goes down...
Music rarities
by Elainehead about Shopping Grandes Galerias
Also known as "Galeria do Rock", even though you can't find it written anywhere, due to 3 floors dedicated to all sort of rock fans, but the main attraction here are the CD shops, all kinds of music: alternative rock, heavy-metal, hip-hop, rap, eletronic and rarities. You can also find vinyls, sound equipment and so on.
There are 2 entrances, one on Rua 24 de Maio, 62 and another on Avenida Sao Joao at number 439 Rarities! It depends.

Graça Mineira (antigo Feitiço Mineiro)
This place boasts the cuisine of Minas Gerais (a neighboring state). The food is prepared home style and served without any pretensions. I loved everything I tried.
On the Avenida Paulista...

...you find the modern building of MASP (Museum of Arts of Sao Paulo). You will notice anyway.
During the entire year there is some exhibition there, so you will not lose time... do not miss it.
Curiously I lived in Sao Paulo for three years and I only visit this museum during one of my weekend trips to visit friends.
