On Route to Vitoria

The flight to Vitoria (VIX) is only about an hour and a half, just right for a short snooze.

Vitoria appears to be a city of about 600,000 and beautifully situated, snuggled between mountains and the ocean.




Vitoria is an industrial town, with an active deep water port





Here is some pretty typical engineering in the favela areas on the hillsides.



Another nice shot of the harbour.



In the business district a shot of the old movie theatre



A shot of the beach





On the pier next to the Best Western: a fishing hole for the locals




The Metropolitain Cathedral (lots of churches again)



One of the many elaborate staircases within Vitoria
