Key points
n
n
nThe city of Santos, in Brazil, celebrates its founding every January 26.
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
nMost of the city is located on the island of Sâo Vicente; the rest is on the mainland facing the island.
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
nThe city is especially known for three things:
n
n
n
nThe Coffee Museum – This is where people used to negotiate the world’s coffee prices.
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
nThe 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!
