Florianopolis was founded in 1726 by immigrants from the Azores, along with German and Italian settlers. With a population of around 370,000 it is the capital of the State of Santa Catarina and a port of call for coastal shipping. Located on Santa Catarina Island, which is joined to the mainland by three bridges, the late-19th century pastel-colored, stuccoed buildings still recall faint “old world” images.
Shopping
Good shopping can be found in Florianopolis on “Felipe Schmidt,” an
all-pedestrian street. Jurere Beach Resort features an Open-Air Shopping
Center that is accessible from the jetty via a complimentary shopping
shuttle by minivans offered by the merchants. Best items to shop for:
local handicrafts and resort wear.

sweet Brazilian coffee.
