Let's imagine for a moment the way a settlement called Porto Alegre could look! Surely it must be a beautiful and loud seaside city with colonial architecture and palm trees, snow-white beaches and turquoise ocean. Let’s check now whether it is true.
Translated from the Portuguese language, Porto Alegre is a cheerful or joyful port
It is a major cultural, educational and financial center of the south of Brazil and the capital of the state Rio Grande do Sul. Among all the capitals of Brazilian states, Porto Alegre has the highest standard of life.
The history of the settlement began in 1772. Having seized a part of the territory from the Indians, the group of Bandeirantes (colonists scouring about the New World in search of wealth), gave up their dangerous occupation. They settled andstarted breeding cattle. Porto Alegre acquired city status in 1810. Today the population of it is nearly 1.5 million people, almost 80% of them are Caucasians.
Among the attractions of the "joyful port", Mario Quintana Cultural Center named after the greatest Brazilian poet is worth mentioning. There is a lot of interesting collected at the Science and Technology Museum, Santander Cultural Center. As for an evening walk, the perfect place for it is the cozy Farroupilha park.
Porto Alegre is located in subtropical oceanic climate zone. An average temperature in June ranges between 15-17 degrees C. Among all the cities hosting 2014 FIFA World Cup, Porto Alegre is the southernmost and the coldest one because of Arctic air masses driven by strong wind from the ocean. Actually it is even good for footballers that it is not too hot.
There are two football clubs in Porto Alegre, both playing in the Brazilian top division. Two football stadiums (Beira-Rio and the pathetic Olimpico Monumental) belong respectively to the clubs "Grêmio" and "Internacional". 2014 FIFA World Cup matches are hosted by Beira-Rio seating 48,800 spectators. The arena was put into operation as early as 1969 and has been completely renovated by 2014 World Cup.
