Currently, I'll show you some pictures of my stay in Minas Gerais! Just
to locate, Minas is a region the size of France which was discovered a lot of gold and diamonds, which have enabled Brazil to become a colony interresting for Portugal and grow from the architectural, social, economic and religious.
first capital of Minas: Mariana, Ouro Preto, then it was finally and Belo Horizonte (currently).
We started therefore to 5 of Sao Paulo in a rental car for Ouro Preto ... we share in early afternoon because of landlord problems and therefore we arrive at 23:00 at hotel in Ouro Preto, between time, there was cabbage at least 6 times, we ended up on roads worthy of Indiana Jones, but we arrived safely. The next visit of the city and its environs:
Magnificent.
Gold has allowed the construction of churches all more beautiful than the others! Baroque art in all its splendor! I imagined already run a bach cantante inside. The city has remained unchanged, well preserved, people friendly and hospitable! not too many tourists (it's cool).
