Domingos Martins

Domingos Martins needs 1 day: touring the center with its German- and Pomeranian-style half-timbered houses, a legacy of the settlers who founded the town, in the morning, and visiting one of its farms and flower-and-craft fairs on the outskirts, in the afternoon. April-September brings the region's coolest weather. It's inexpensive by Brazilian standards. Founded in 1847 by German and Pomeranian immigrants, it keeps Espírito Santo's coolest climate thanks to its altitude in the Serra Capixaba, which allowed a flower and vegetable farming tradition uncommon in a mostly tropical state.
