Founded in 1704, the old village carries a past marked by mining, religiosity, and preserved architecture. The historic center houses buildings such as the old Town Hall and Jail, dating from 1839, now transformed into the Antoniano Museum, which narrates the life of Saint Anthony. The local churches impress with their artistic richness and the faith of the people. The Santo Antônio Parish Church, begun in 1713, displays altars carved in wood and gilded details that span three phases from Baroque to Rococo. Other chapels, such as Nossa Senhora das Mercês and Rosário, complete the city's sacred heritage. The episode also highlights the birth of former president Afonso Pena, the House of Culture, and the handcrafted ceramics of the Artisans' Association. Matheus also visits the Honey House, where he tastes honeycomb, honey, and mead, products that earned the city the title of "Minas Gerais Honey Capital". The itinerary continues to the district of Brumal, where artisan Maria Lúcia transforms corn husks into dolls, and local weavers produce embroidery and crochet that combine tradition and independence. The trip ends with good food and conversation at Bar do Niquinho, where "Segunda do Profissional" (Professional Monday) celebrates Minas Gerais friendship. 🍀 Highlights: Antoniano Museum and former Town Hall and Jail Baroque churches and the Santo Antônio Parish Church from 1713 Honey and mead production at Casa do Mel (House of Honey) Straw and weaving crafts in the Brumal district Niquinho's Bar and the traditional "Segunda do Profissional" (Professional Monday) 🔑 Keywords: Santa Bárbara MG, Brumal, Minas Gerais honey, Afonso Pena, Minas Gerais Baroque, crafts, Boa Sorte Viajante (Good Luck Traveler) #SantaBárbaraMG #MinasGerais #BoaSorteViajante ===================== WHO IS MATHEUS BOA SORTE? I am passionate about the cultural traditions of the Brazilian Northeast. To be more specific, the Sertão (backlands), which I defend as being much more than just a part of Brazil that doesn't get much rain. For me, the backlands are a feeling, a state of mind, of those who carry within themselves a smile, faith, persistence, courage, and a little bit of cunning. I'm an advertising professional by academic training, and I pay my bills through art. I'm a singer, songwriter, writer, speaker, educator, actor, TV presenter, radio broadcaster... A lot, right? But I summarize all of that in just one profession: I AM A STORYTELLER.
