EspÃrito Santo — Although off-the-beaten path, the state east of Minas Gerais has much to offer tourists. The capital Vitória's beautiful bay and bridge; Vila Velha's Convento da Penha a 16th-century hilltop Franciscan convent; Guarapari's beaches and summer parties; the German-colonized town of Domingos Martins; Pedra Azul State Park's beautiful blue rock; and Itaúnas's dunes and forró a Northeastern Brazilian dance; are some of the main attractions that should guarantee tourists a good time.
