Belo Horizonte

It is a bit of a dump in the old centre, which is badly in need of rennovation.

However, The market is worth visiting, as it has specacular displays of food, handicrafts and animals.

The posh areas are cleaner with the usual anodyne shopping centres etc. Most of the reccomended restaurants are in the wealthy suburbs.

The art centre is also rather beautiful.

There seems to be a lot of music on the streets.

It looks like at Peanut Street (Rua do Amendoin) near the Pope Square (Praça do Papa), the cars go up the street with the engine turned off when they should go down the street. I’ve read this is an optical phenomenon… all I know it’s weird.

If you would like to read about my trip to brazil and see my photos go to http://www.macktravels.com and go to the travels section and click on my brazil graphic. Enjoy!

Grew up a bit here, but one thing that always bothers me whenever I go is the streets, oh the mess! lol…But if youre into big cities and love malls, heres the place…I really reccomend ‘BH Shopping’ :)

Well, well, well… I visited BH a few times when i lived in Minas Gerais, you know? I have to say that the direction of some streets can really make us angry when you dont know the city so much, we found it out while my sister was doing her tests. Big malls, just a city as crazy and nice as Sao Paulo.
