.. this is a fabulous bookshop on Av. Paulista. A great location for academic, foreign travel, languages etc. Well worth a visit; for book lovers you could spend an entiure day here and why not enjoy a read over a cup of tea in their cafe on the first floor.
FNAC is a Portuguese company that specialisies in books an CD's an DVD's. There are two prominent FNAC stores in Sao Paulo, one on Av. Paulista and the other in Pinheiros. These are cool stores to visit an to relax an to unwind and to get away from the heat an humiity of Paulista. As with most book shops in Sao Paulo the staff give you plenty of space, and there are plenty of places to sit down and relax. Once, we watched the whole of Toy Story 2 on a television in the kiddies section without anyone annoying us; Sao Paulo can be like that! Recommended.
On the road to Rio, it is impossible to miss the Basilica looming over the small, poor town.The city itself is nothing much - poor, badly kept and with lots of cheap shops. But the Basilica and the old cathedral are well worth a stop.They were both built to honor Nsa. Senhora Aparecida, the patron saint of Brazil, whose image was found in the river nearby. The original cathedral is a colonial church, where most of the miracles atributed to the statue took place. The Basilica is an enormous church, around 60 years old, that replaced the cathedral as the sanctuary.
The typical colonial town of São Paulo - brightly painted buildings, cobblestones, several churches, a marketplace...A tranquil kind of place - unless it is a festival: Carnaval, Divino, Reis... Then the village is transformed: traditional parades with huge puppets and flags, regional costumes, the works!There are plenty of trails, waterfalls and a huge national park around it, as well.For details, check my São Luís page:http://members.virtualtourist.com/m/adfad/16e712/
Embu is best known for its crafts fair, held during the weekend. Most of the town is covered with stalls selling everything from candy to furniture. Most of it is not of the best quality, but there is good silver work (often with gemstones, but look hard for these stalls - there are not many), paintings and woodwork (both antigue and replicas, as well as carvings).You can learn a lot about rural life in São Paulo by looking and asking questions at the antigue shops - everything from cartwheels to brickmolds, kitchen implements and spinning wheels.But come back on a weekday and you will see a quiet colonial town, with cobblestone lined streets, wattle and daub buildings, a squat church and the town square. Most of the antigue shops will be open for you to browse, but very few people around - a whole different place!
Campos is the winter getaway for the upper class paulistanos (denizens of São Paulo).It is up in the mountains and can get quite cold, making it a good place for fondue, wine and a fireplace. Since this area had plenty of European immigrants, all of these are easily found.It has a well known Winter Festival, with world class classical music.I find the town unbearably kitsch with its mock European buildings (since the original immigrant constructions are long gone) and overpriced - in other words, a turist trap.
São Paulo is riddled with small towns, as well as larger cities.The smaller villages are often mainly agricultural in nature and are a wonderful place to see a different aspect of life in São Paulo, after the hectic main city. Life centers on the main square, where the church, the local bar and grocery store are located.Nearby, there are usually "hoteis fazendas" or farm hotels - a reformed farm with pool, soccer fields, horses and other amnities. Good food and hammocks make these great places to spend a few days restings.I will post as many small towns as I can, but if you have a car, leave the main roads and follow the secondary ways - great views and all these great places!
Begin your tour at the Edifício Copan, designed by Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer. Farther up Avenida Ipiranga is the city's tallest building, the Edifício Itália (you might want to return at the end of the day for a terrific view of the city from the bar or the restaurant on the 41st floor). Continue north along the avenue to the Praça da República. Cross Ipiranga and walk down the pedestrians-only Rua Barão de Itapetininga, with its many shops and street vendors. Follow it to the neobaroque Teatro Municipal, in the Praça Ramos de Azevedo. Head east across the square to the Viaduto do Chá, a monumental overpass above the Vale do Anhangabaú -- the heart of São Paulo. At the end of this viaduct, turn right onto Rua Líbero Badaró and follow it to the baroque Igreja de São Francisco de Assis. A short walk along Rua Benjamin Constant will bring you to the Praça da Sé, the city's true...
