Depicts: Copacabana beach's "calçadão"
Okay, so this was a very important and nice card for a few motives - firstly, it was the second card from Brazil that I got in the same week and that was really nice, since it had been a few months since the last one! And then this shows a place I really like - the famous Copacabana beach, that I've seen so many times in the Brazillian soap operas that my mom has been watching every night for years on end.
Those tiles on the floor are actually originally Portuguese (from Portugal, to be clear!) and that was why I was saying this card was important for many motives. This boardwalk - we call it "calçadão" - was inspired in Lisbon's Rossio Plaza's one and was "built" in 1906, although it was "rebuilt" in 1970, and it's 4,15km long.
Postcard stamps:
I loved especially the stamp on the right, because it's an official one from this year's World Cup, from Porto Alegre! And as a big football fan, I couldn't have loved it more!
