Blumenau: as German as it gets


This is one of the typical German houses in Blumenau, namely the tourist office. And what do you see in front of it? Baianas (Brazilians from Bahia, a north-east province) selling baiano food to the Blumenauers. That's very typical for the European-Brazilian mixture present in south Brazil.






And this is Vila Germanica. On the Oktoberfest-location they built up this line of typical houses to host tourist stores and of course the annual Oktoberfest.
