Porto Alegre - Brazil I

[pedruzzi]

This is a bit of southern Brazil

My third thread, to show the gaúchos capital.

Here is everything I have of most relevant to SSC about Porto Alegre. These are impressions of the city in the last 5 years. I brought a very personal way of viewing Porto Alegre, exploring some uncommon perspectives, or which at least we dont see that frequently, but athere is also some of the trivial and the cliché, which doesnt becomes ugly or less attractive because of being it. In any way, showing Porto Alegre is always a challenge because the city doesnt reveals itself easily for the visitors, hiding its beauty in corners and aerial views, where few can appreciate it.

Great tour of the city!

[Trantor]

let me translate the text in the beginning

My third thread, to show the gaúchos capital.

Here is everything I have of most relevant to SSC about Porto Alegre. These are impressions of the city in the last 5 years. I brought a very personal way of viewing Porto Alegre, exploring some uncommon perspectives, or which at least we dont see that frequently, but athere is also some of the trivial and the cliché, which doesnt becomes ugly or less attractive because of being it. In any way, showing Porto Alegre is always a challenge because the city doesnt reveals itself easily for the visitors, hiding its beauty in corners and aerial views, where few can appreciate it.
