As I my job demands traveling around the State of São Paulo, last week I was very close to my parents' home! Thus, I spent week-end with my folks!

CASTILHO is the name of the place and it's in the border of the States of SÃO PAULO and MATO GROSSO DO SUL! It's a fishermen's spot/paradise because the RIO PARANÁ/PARANÁ RIVER is in the county, some 15km westwards! It's around 730km west from the Capital City of the State (SÃO PAULO) and 630km west from CAMPINAS, the city where I live! The town is quite small but recent administrations have revitalized it!

Here's another picture taken at the recently remodelled PRAÇA DA MATRIZ/MAIN SQUARE (newly renamed PRAÇA MARIA DO LÍRIO/MARIA DO LÍRIO SQUARE). It's quite busy because the Town Hall, banks and stores are around it! On week-ends, at night, young men and women go there for their usual flirting! Sometimes there are music and dance there too! It's truly a local meeting point!
Sidelit by the strong end of the afternoon sun, I highlighted the bandstand, an old and traditional construction that was quite common everywhere in Brazil!

Having some spare time, take a lot at this WS version:
ANOTHER VIEW OF THE SAME SQUARE, THE BANDSTAND AND THE WATER FOUNTAIN!
