💰 How far does your money go?
A francesinha in Porto now costs €13-15. In São Paulo, a pastel with a glass of fresh sugarcane juice at a street market costs about €4, a coxinha €1 and a prato feito (rice, beans, meat and salad) €6. A caipirinha in a Vila Madalena bar is around €5.
☀️ The Weather
March is late summer in São Paulo. Expect highs of 27-28°C, nights around 19°C and high humidity. Short, heavy storms often roll in in the late afternoon, then clear quickly, so plan museums for the afternoon.
