Santos is a beautiful city next to Guarujá with over 500 thousand inhabitants. It is also famous for its sea port and of course for being the home of the Santos Futebol Clube, the club of Pelé, the king of futebol (soccer).

Santos, I was told has the world longest beach side garden. Beautiful gardens, parks and a bike track run along the entire bay. We drove along the marginal all the way to São Vicente the second oldest city in Brazil and we were amazed with the manicured gardens, the cleanliness of the place and the friendliness of the people.

Filomena had her first real shopping spree of the holidays and I had to buy a camera as my old one gave up the ghost. Too many pictures probably…

During our second visit to Guarujá e spend some time visiting some of the surrounded areas such as the beautiful Iporanga beach.
