# Paranapiacaba

[Paranapiacaba](http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paranapiacaba) is a small
strange and beautiful old railway city near São Paulo, built to home
english railway workers at the end of 19th century on a line linking the
coffee-producing areas to the port of Santos. Today the line is still
partially used but the wide complex Paranapiacaba was built around is
disaffected, leaving the city cut in 2 by this surreal "rail
valley"...
