Hi guys! I'm here in São Paulo,
more specifically at the Batman Alley
And it's full of bloggers here!
This is an alley here
there was nothing going on until a few years ago
until some artists started coming here
and painting the walls
And it became this
For me, Batman Alley is super special because
it was my way home every day
No one knew about this
So I would drive in these tiny streets
and suddenly there was colorful graffiti all over
Recently they've
closed to traffic,
they added a sign saying Batman's Alley,
It became a real attraction
I saw the sign and I was shocked!
Yeah... It's even in English, did you see it?
Really? I haven't seen it! Where's the sign?
Out there! It's in English!
It's called "Batman's Alley" because I think
there was a Batman here, right?
That's what they say, no one really knows...
There was a Batman...
No, there's another one over there
There, there's a Batman over there
There was a fat Batman!
Yeah, right? Also one with a child face...
What was that? A graffiti?
Yeah, a Batman graffiti, right here...
In the 80's, right?
One of the first graffitis here
Oh guys! I found Batman! Look over there!
Right there!
On weekends everything is closed
It's full of people drinking, eating,...
There are some events over there
with food stalls and such
And there are certain times of the year
Carnival is crowded
There are about 2 months of Carnival
So there are parades before and after Carnival
in Vila Madalena, downtown, and in Pinheiros
basically and here it gets all crowded
every day at night... So...
Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday
And apart from Carnival there are food events,
there are events in the neighborhood... It get's busy
Anyways... And on weekends it's always crowded
Everybody comes here,
a lot of tourists. It's very famous.
Does anyone know if these murals change
from time to time?
Always! Always! A guy comes and...
Do you already have a favorite?
I have one which is the
"Maybe you're already happy and don't even know"
Loved it! Loved it!
The birds over there are my favorites
The favorite graffiti is this one behind us
There's a constellation, a bull,...
My zodiac sign (Taurus), don't know if that's why!
Mine too!
Wow, it would be so crazy
everyone doing something different
and several photos, got it?
So cool!
Then we post everything on Pinterest
to create one single mural
Yeah!!!
Guys, that's it
I'll spend the week here in Sao Paulo
So there are other places to come
Yesterday we had an event with Pinterest
It was great!
You know, it's a platform I really love!
And I learned a lot of things
So if you guys want tips, just get in touch
And today... This is the event
It's because of this event that I'm in Sao Paulo
This is WTM Latin America,
the biggest travel trade show in Latin America
And it's great to learn
what's going on in the destinations
where can you visit
Flying Emirates first class...
Not!
Look at this!
In first class they normally give you
a few kits, amenity kits
Look at how many they have here! Three!
Guys, party time!
"Turistando com a Lu" travel blog
Today I'm at Eataly in São Paulo
I didn't even have breakfast to tell you the truth!
What we're doing today is a really cool project
which is simply called the "Eataly tour",
where we share a little of what we do,
we explain the departments,
how we came up with the idea, etc., our philosophy
I am Italian, I'm from Milan
This is my third store, I've been here for 2 years
and I have followed up closely since the opening
Now it's time for the chocolate!
We've chosen to open in Sao Paulo and not Rio
because Sao Paulo has the best
of the Italian community
Outside Italy actually
the biggest Italian community outside Italy
is in Sao Paulo
So Sao Paulo is really,
really an interesting city for Italians
He's preparing mozzarella right here in front of us
I'm the cheese guy, always,
everywhere I go
So to have the opportunity to see the guy preparing
pasta filata the way it is,
lifting that sheet to make a burrata...
Very few places in Brazil have this
Cheese with nutella!
So good!
I thought that mortadella was super delicate, delicious
So I think that
whoever wants to understand more about mortadella,
sausages, and cheeses, it's worth coming here
to Eataly to check it out
The verdict?
It's great!
What we're looking for is to build a business experience
so that everyone who comes here can learn,
can eat, can shop
We have 4,000 sq meters (43,000 sq ft) more or less
It's our bread, made with a yeast
It's a 16-year-old yeast
It came by plane
So it's very, very cool
And a biological flour, cooked in the wood oven
If you go to Eataly in Milan,
you'll find a little bit of everything
So you will find the sauce from the North,
the sauce from the South, a beer
from a small producer's village
So it brings a lot of awareness to Italians
This is the idea behind Eataly
So it's not of a big tourist place
That was not the idea, the idea is much more complex,
It's to talk a little bit about the variety,
the regionality of Italian food
We deserve it!
I think Eataly's concept of
eating, learning, and buying is very cool
I recommend you to come
not only to visit Eataly,
but also for the tour because
you can have another view of the place
Something very cool about Eataly
is that they have real regional Italian food
I guess we're trying everything here
Here we have more than 9,000 products
We have more or less 80,000 people coming here
every month
So it's really interesting
There has been a lot of tourism here as well
I think we are one of the best
tourism points in Sao Paulo
We really enjoy what we're doing
and we hope to see you soon!
We left Eataly and came back here to the event
And I didn't even tell you guys about the experience
of eating there! So think about this:
You eat something and the taste is totally different
from what you expected
I've been to a couple of Eataly's around the world
and the one thing that I always notice
is the familiarity
You can go anywhere
and you're gonna find, you know, the same Eataly
But you also have some local stuff
So it gives each one a little bit of a personality
and a little bit of the local flavors
Today the tour around the world continues here at WTM
It's a pleasure to be here in Brazil
We'll serve three types of wine
Just left Eataly and came here to try wines
at the Chile stand...
Today is my day!
When they began bringing grapes from Europe
to the new continent, Chile in this case,
French producers, oenologists...
One of them ended up realizing that
it was really the carménère grape, extinct in Europe
that was rediscovered in Chile
Chi-chi-chi-le-le-le! Hurray Chile!
That's typical of the Taiwanese culture
Very traditional during New Years and it brings luck!
The week was full of great meetings
I learned a lot about new destinations
and I'm full of ideas of where to travel next!
I'm going to finish this trip here in Sao Paulo
in a way that I love: doing a bike tour
This group here... They offer several tours for free
I chose one downtown Sao Paulo
To join, all you have to do is sign-up online
And bring 2 kg of non-perishable food
"Crackland"! It's right there
In the complex there's a cultural area
Downstairs there are
theater, music, dance presentations
The tour was very nice
You stop in several locations
you have a guide explaining you everything
What I really liked about it is
because we go to some places that normally
I wouldn't go by myself
But with them I felt safe, you know?
So I hope you guys enjoyed my trip here in Sao Paulo
There's way more on my blog
