Pedra do Sal

È folle andare a Pedra do Sal lunedì sera.La musica in loco, molte persone in strada e piccoli negozi possono comprare bevande ovunque.La maggior parte delle persone sono locali e ci sono diversi turisti.Se vuoi uscire lunedì sera a Rio de Janeiro, ti suggerisco di andare qui.

Lunedì c'è sempre una bella Samba che va lì. È iniziato alle 7:30.

If you're into music and local culture, you may want to check out Pedra do Sal. There's something different going on, depending on the day of the week, so you may want to ask around as to what kind of music you'll find on what night. If you're having trouble finding this locale, it's a couple of blocks from the better-known Museu do Amanhã. Mind you, this is at the base of a favela, so keep your street smarts about you, but you will find mind tourists and locals intermingling here. There's street food too, if you get hungry. But you might be too busy making friends and dancing to notice the hunger.

In a ramshackle neighborhood north of downtown, Pedra do Sal is a classic slice of Rio culture. In fact, it was on this spot that many credit the birthplace of samba (back in the latter half of the 19th century). Today this open-air live music event, free and open to all, features samba musicians jamming around plastic tables, while a dance-loving crowd gathers around. Vendors selling cold cans of cerveja (beer) keep things festive. The jams happen on Monday and Friday nights, and are cancelled during heavy rains, so keep an eye on the sky. Since the surrounding area is dicey, it's best to take a taxi there.

Un buen lugar para pasar la noche en Rio. Nos lo recomendaron algunos locales y nos sorprendió gratamente.Está rodeado de puestos vendiendo mayormente cerveza, gente bailando en la calle: mucha música y mucha alegría, típico en tierras cariocas.Los precios en general no son malos y el ambiente es tranquilo y alegre.
