the square to do stand up
paddle, walking, cycling and
running . On the weekends
there is a fair with typical
food and crafts.
Ilha do Boi
Boi island is an upscale neighborhood, upper class, in the city of
Vitória.
Despite its name, the current quarter is not an island. With the
city's growth in the first half of the nineteenth century large
areas were grounded throughout the city and the island joined
the Victoria Island.
It is mainly residential, and its largest area consists of upscale
residences, some with their own piers for boats. The
neighborhood also has two small crowded beaches.
The island is also an object of research for biologists from the
Federal University of Espírito Santo.
Penha Convent
Penha Convent is a convent in Vila Velha, Brazil, on the top of a high mountain overlooking the cities of
Vitória and Vila Velha. Founded in approximately 1558 by Pedro Palácios, today it is home to Espírito Santo's Patron
Saint, Our Mother of Penha. Many believers make pilgrimages to this site which is surrounded by a green haven of
forest. Due to its location between two large urban areas, it is also a very much sought-after leisure spot on
weekends and holidays. It is considered one of the main tourist attractions of the Brazilian Southeast state
of Espírito Santo.
Every year, there is an important celebration to the Saint when believers dedicate their miles praying and thanking
the Saint. Some travel from all over Brazil in order to get there.
The men usually start their walk from the Capital Vitoria and finish at the Convent in Vila Velha. The women also pay
their respects and walk from the closest Church (Santuario) up to the Convent. Inside the Convent there are
millions of Thank you Notes from people that claim to have been cured by Nossa Senhora da Penha. They have left
many of their notes along with their old handicapped chairs and much more. The view from the Convent is one of
the most beautiful views. It’s possible to see the Island of Vitoria and the City of Vila Velha and one of the most
beautiful beaches along the coast of Brazil called Praia da Costa, where at the end of the beach, you can also see
the house of the Governor.
