Santos
Santos is a municipality in the state of São Paulo in Brazil, founded in 1546 by the Portuguese nobleman Brás Cubas, located partially on the island of São Vicente, which houses the city of Santos and the city of São Vicente.
The city also houses the Coffee Museum, where, once, coffee prices were negotiated. There is also a football memorial, dedicated to the city's biggest players, which includes Pelé, who played for Santos Soccer Club. Its seafront garden, 5335 m (5,834 m) long, figures in the Guinness Book of Records as the largest seafront garden in the world.
The coastline along the city of Santos is known for offering a strange view. As if they were dominoes to knock over, the waterfront is lined with a series of tall apartment buildings that are unmistakably sloped to one side.

Gastronomy
As usual in a port city, seafood is among the main gastronomic highlights.
In a survey among tourists and residents of Santos to determine what the local "tourist dish" would be, the choice fell on the "Meca Santista": a grilled meca topped with prawns, pupunha palm risotto and banana farofa with bacon.
Mecca is among the most sought-after fish by tourists and the other ingredients are typical of the region.
But the gastronomic options do not stop in the fish and shellfish, being able to be savored a good barbecue in the form of carvery, dry meat, sarapatel, baião-de-dos and "escondidinho".
Pizzerias and fast food as in every city in the world are other options.

In winter, the penetration of polar air masses from the south causes the thermometers to drop below 10 ° C.
