About Porto Alegre, capital of Rio Grande do Sul…
Who would imagine that couples coming from Açores Islands (Portugal) who would
settle the regions of Missões, would fall in love for a river shore and here
established at march 1772 a town called “Porto dos Casais” (Port of Couples)? Well,
this is the origin of Porto Alegre, which name was changed one year later. Today
Porto Alegre has about 1,5 million inhabitants who descend from more than 30
different ethinies. Surely you’ll find someone from your country through the city or
region!! It is the capital of Rio Grande do Sul (the southern State of Brazil) and it is
far from: São Paulo: 1100km; Rio de Janeiro: 1500km; Montevidéo (Uruguai):
900km; Buenos Aires (Argentina): 1100km.
The gaucho capital is in a privileged location. A strategic point within the Mercosur,
Porto Alegre is the geographical centre of the major routes within the Southern
Cone and it is located at equivalent distance both from Buenos Aires and
Montevideo, as well as from the capitals of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. Its visitors
encounter an important business centre and the gateway to the major tourist
attractions in the region.

A mass is celebrated in her honor at church Nossa Senhora do Rosário dos Pretos (9 a.m.), and later (11:00 a.m.) a procession proceeds through Pelourinho to theCorpo de Bombeiros (Fire Station) in the Baixa dos Sapateiros, where participants are greeted by the sounding of sirens (Santa Bárbara is the patron saint of firefighters) and a grand carurú to be served to the public. From there everything moves on to the Mercado de Santa Bárbara where the stallholders have prepared their own carurús to be served to the public (5 p.m.), and where it is very, very crowded. Red and white are the colors to be worn. Epa hei!
