🇧🇷 Santos Old Town: A Coffee-Scented Time Capsule
Wandering Santos' historic center feels like stepping into a faded postcard—weathered buildings, cobblestone whispers, and the bittersweet aroma of coffee history. ☕ Museu do Café (Coffee Museum) ▪️ Housed in the 1922 Coffee Exchange—where Brazil’s "black gold" was traded. ▪️ $16/adult (kids free) to see vintage tools, trade ledgers, and smell the past. ⚠️ Heads up: The area feels uneasy after dark—take a taxi or drive. 🌆 Vibe Check ▪️ Decaying grandeur: Ivy-choked facades + stray cats = melancholy magic. ▪️ Survival tip: Go early, sip slowly, and keep your camera ready. 🏛️ Colonial architecture—pastel facades & cobblestone charm. 📸 Photo ops everywhere (no filter needed!). #SantosOldTown #CoffeeHistory #UrbanExploration #BrazilTravel
