Provetá

Due to fishing that has made it the second largest economy after Abrao, Ilha Grande, it is one of the most populous cities. When we arrived, people looked at us questioningly and seemed very unfriendly, which is something rather strange in Brazil. This city's population belongs to the Evangelical community and they are quite reluctant to accept tourists because they believe that tourists bring bad things to the city. It is very difficult to make friends there if you are not evangelical. The owner of the inn where we were stayed had been living for 5 years in the city and didn't know many locals.
