Added to my list of super cemetery visits is the cemetery where Pele's remains will be forever in Santos, Brazil. Pele was known worldwwide as the King of football and died December 2002.
listen)), commonly known simply as Santos or Santos FC and nicknamed the Peixe (pronounced [ˈpejʃi]; "fish"), is a Brazilian sports club based in Vila Belmiro, a bairro in the city of Santos. It is also the team with the most goals in football history.[Santos is a Barrio, Portuguese for district or neighbourhood.
The area has many attractions for the tourist, notable, the football museum, the coffee museum, the photographic landmark of the red statue to Japanese immigration, and the Guinness world record for the largest beachfront garden.
You can learn Portuguese on Duolingo, which I have been doing. Portuguese, spoke in Portugal in Europe, the island of Madeira, and in the huge country of Brazil in South Aerica, is very similar to Spanish, spoken in the surrounding countries in South American. Where the English, French, and Spanish and use the letter n, as in the English word garden and the French word jardin, the Portuguese use the letter m.
