Armacao de Buzios, commonly referred to as Buzios, is a former fishing village made famous in the 1960's after the actress Bridgette Bardot visited while she was dating a Brazilian. She came to Buzios to escape the paparazzi. Her visit there put the town on the map making it now one of Brazil's most upscale seaside resort towns. The area is littered with pretty beaches, boutiques, lively cafes and bars and classy hotels and pousadas all located along cobblestone streets giving the area a Mediterranean touch. We spent the day walking along the waterfront and ambling around the shopping district. We made a few purchases and contributed to the local economy.
We finished up our visit with a couple of beers at a cute café and bar called Madame Bardot's overlooking the sparkling bay.
Another great day for us as we make our way down the coast of Brazil.
