January 26 - Foundation of Santos in Brazil

Posted on January 26, 2020

The city of Santos, in Brazil, celebrates its founding every January 26. 


Most of the city is located on the island of Sâo Vicente; the rest is on the mainland facing the island. 



The city is especially known for three things:

The Coffee Museum - This is where people used to negotiate the world's coffee prices.


The football museum memorial dedicated to the city's greatest players - Of course, we are not talking about American football, but rather the sport everyone else in the world calls football and Americans call soccer! Pelé - one of THE greatest players of all time - came from Santos!




A beachfront garden that is, according to the Guinness Book of World Records, the largest beachfront garden in the world.
