Vila Velha: O berço do Espírito Santo

In this video, we take a historical walk through Vila Velha, the birthplace of the state of Espírito Santo. We'll visit iconic locations in chronological order of their founding, sharing little-known facts about our "Canela Verde" origins. We pass by Prainha, where it all began in 1535, visit the Church of Our Lady of the Rosary (one of the oldest active churches in Brazil), and climb up to the Penha Convent for a breathtaking view. At the end, I'll even reveal a bonus: the "secret beach" and the Santa Luzia Lighthouse.
