Dique do Tororo

Attend soccer matches, watch sellout performances by world-famous musicians and enjoy a behind-the-scenes tour at this 50,000-plus capacity arena.

This sea-facing church erected in the 1700s has an austere exterior and a richly decorated interior. It’s also the host of a lively annual festival.
