Their street art is everywhere, livening up the dour concrete with their socially conscious wit and style. The twins' uniquely Brasilian take on graffiti has now risen to prominence and their work has been used in the Fernando Meirelles produced futebol documentary 'Ginga'. It's still best viewed on São Paulo's walls, buildings and underpasses. Keep your eyes peeled.

This large, covered market sells all kinds of stuff that, if you’re not Brazilian, you probably will never have seen before. There are fruits from the Amazon region, for instance, that don’t even seem to have English names. Wandering past the stalls, you can see and smell eels, herbs, pineapples, salami, snails ... crammed together like a monument to the tastebuds.

São Paulo is the location of the biggest gay pride parade in the world. In 2005 organisers estimated that two million attended the event, and more than that are expected in 2006. This will be the 10th parade, which, thanks to the official support of the city government, has good infrastructure (transportation, police etc).

The parade route is 4 km long, starting at Avenida Paulista, the financial centre of São Paulo.
It happens every year on a weekend of June. In 2006, it will be on June 17th
