Roberto Carlos makes Ciro cringe, it brings back memories of pre-New Year television Galas in the early 2000s at his great aunt's home in
Santos, São Paulo, Brazil.
This is the only bearable song by the artist, as it talks about going down to Ciro's beloved
Santos, São Paulo, Brazil from the city of
São Paulo, which lies on a plateau of about 700 meters above sea level, a trip that takes you down through the spectacular
Serra do Mar tropical rainforest.
The mountainous roads of the older road,
Rodovia Anchieta there are very curvy, and can be very dangerous when there is fog. The heavy truck traffic to/from the port of Santos makes this even worse.
But it also makes everything much more spectacular, as you get closer to the forest, and at slower speeds, with occasional panoramic views of the city.
