Olinda

Olinda is a city in Pernambuco, Brazil, next to Recife and Paulista.

Olinda has a lot of tourist atractions, like:

• historical centre (human heritage)
• churches
• Carnival: The carnival in Olinda is a popular street party. Unlike Rio de Janeiro and Salvador, in Olinda you don't pay for the best places. All the party is in the streets. No "bleachers" nor "cord of rope". There are hundreds of little musical groups (sometimes one person), in various categories.
