when you visit Rio probrably I will take you to a open flea market that happens every first saturday of the month in downtown Rio you will see there  an antique fair at Lavradio street this open flea Market is part of my tours when you are there you feel that you returned to the past because they sell a bit of everything

in Brazil we have a lot of the African influence on the art of carving so there you will find animals in wood similar to the ones you find in Africa




while you walk through the Lavradio street you see old buildings dated from the XIX centtury most of them are being restored by the city council


when you are there  it´s interesting to stop at one of many bars and restaurants where you can enjoy the  snacks and listen to and authentic brazilian samba music


this flea market is near the Metropolitan Cathedral of Rio de Janeiro that was inaugurated in 1976 after 12 years of construction  you cannot miss a visit to this church it´s dedicated to San Sebastian the patron of the city and consists of an enormous cone, complete with four beautiful stained-glass windows the cathedral interior is spacious, with enough room to fit over 20,000 people inside, and is home to many paintings, sculptures and murals which were completed by local artists .
