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.

Porque depois de mais de 100 anos, BH ainda é uma roça?

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’ :)
