Paranapiacaba

Paranapiacaba is a small town located in the mountains between the Coast and the Plateau of the City of São Paulo. The first buildings in town were raised in 1860 to house the workers who built the railway that ran from São Paulo City to the Port of Santos, to transport the coffee production that was then being increased in the countryside of the State. One of the employees of the São Paulo Railway Company, an english man called Charles Miller, organized in this town, in those years, the first soccer game played in Brazil. Today, the town has become a touristic place and preserve some of the english accent around, including the amazing fog. Because of the fog we were not able to see the Tower Clock built after the one they´ve got in London.
