Wednesday, August 20, 2008
Gramado e Canela are the most turistic cities in south of Brazil today. Fancy little town with lost of German and Italian Immigration. I f you thing portugues would be firt language here you may be suprise. It is very comum see a group of folks speaking german or italian. Very intersting german architecture, lots of home made cook and wineyard farms and companies. There is a very nice turistic program which happens inside of a train from one town to another includding lunch, cultural dances and wine tastering passing through many other little towns. It happens in Farroupilha.
