Walking in Jardins.../ Caminando por Jardins ...



Jardins es uno de los barrios lindos de Sao Paulo, que da gusto caminar para apreciar mejor. Es increible la vegetacion exuberante que se encuentra en sus veredas. De todo, una de las cosas que me encantan es ver las orquideas de todos los colores en los arboles.
Jardins is one of the most beautiful neighborhoods in Sao Paulo. It is really nice to walk to enjoy it better. It has an exuberant vegetation in all the sidewalks. One of the things that I like the most is the colors orchids in the trees.

Natal en la Avenida Paulista.




Durante Navidad una visita imperdible es recorrer la Avenida Paulista durante la noche para ver las decoraciones de luces de los distintos edificios. Uno de los que mas me impresiono fueron los arboles azules en el parque Siqueira Campos (Trianon). En una noche lluviosa parecian parte de un cuento de hadas.
During Christmas time, a great visit is to walk Paulista Avenue to see the lights decorations in the buildings. One that impress me the most was the blue trees in the Siqueira Campos Park. In a rainy night they looked like a part of a fairy tale.
