Caruaru

Situated 134 km west of Recife, this small town in the sertão is famous for its huge Festas Juninhas, held throughout June , and its little clay figures (figurinhas or bonecas de barro) originated by Mestre Vitalino (1909-1963), and very typical of northeast Brazil. Most of the potters live at Alto da Moura, 6 km away, where you can visit the Casa Museu Mestre Vitalino (buses from Caruaru, a bumpy 30-min ride, US$0.50) once owned by Vitalino and containing personal objects and photographs, but no examples of his work. UNESCO has recognized the area as the largest centre of figurative art in the Americas.
