Neste verão secou a lagoa central, por causa da seca...Mas creio que logo, volte a ficar cheia novamente. Tem lugares para lanchar e muitos outros lugares que vendem Jurupiga...

(Translated by Google) Mariaheiros Island. Another lagoon island, located in the Patos lagoon, in the municipality of Rio Grande. Access to the island is via a dirt road. The history of Portuguese colonization of the region began on this island. Today it can be considered a small paradise, whose income for most families comes from agriculture in addition to fishing. It is a peaceful place but has historical buildings that demonstrate the faith of the colonizers, such as the chapel of São João Batista, dating from 1858. In addition to other old chapels. Unfortunately, they are all closed to visitors. The famous JURUPIGA, a drink made from grapes, is produced on this island. It is also possible to observe cattle, warehouses, dunes, birds, plantations and, to conclude the tour, the beautiful sunset. I highly recommend this tour. (Original) Ilha dos Marianheiros. Mais uma ilha lagunar, situada na lagoa dos Patos, do município de Rio Grande. O acesso à ilha é por estrada de chão batido. A história da colonização portuguesa da região começou nesta ilha. Hoje pode-se considerar um pequeno paraíso, cuja renda de boa parte das famílias provém da agricultura além da pesca. È um local pacato mas que guarda construções históricas de demonstração de fé dos colonizadores, como a capelinha de São João Batista, datada de 1858. Além de outras capelinhas também antigas. Infelizmente todas fechadas para visitação. Nesta ilha é produzida a famosa JURUPIGA, bebida feita a partir da uva.Também é possível observar gado, trapiches, dunas, aves, plantações e para fechar o passeio o belo por de sol. Super recomendo este passeio.

I'm sad because at least there should be a sign on the door stating that there are no visitors on those days. The place seems super beautiful to me, however, it is very difficult to access it. (Original) A inconstância do atendimento dificulta conhecer o local. Já fiz várias tentativas e nunca tem o barco para travessia.

(Translated by Google) I was able to revisit it today, after a long time. There are renovations in some parts of the internal structure. Externally, it is a building worn out by time, but with a peculiar architectural charm. It shows the date of founding of the place next to the entrance door, on the floor. I found the detail particularly curious, as I naturally looked for the date of foundation on the building's facade. The spaces are free to use for research, various studies and readings. To collect materials, you must join by paying a monthly fee of R$20. (Original) Pude revisitar hoje, depois de muito tempo. Está com reformas em algumas partes na estrutura interna. Externamente é um prédio desgastado pelo tempo, mas assim com um charme arquitetônico peculiar. Apresenta a data de fundação do local próximo a porta de entrada, no chão. Achei o detalhe particularmente curioso, pois de modo natural procurei a data de fundação na fachada do edifício. O uso dos espaços é livre para pesquisas, estudos diversos e leituras. Para retirada de materiais é preciso se associar pagando uma taxa de R$20 mensais.
(Translated by Google) Our library is simply wonderful. Everyone should know their environment and its importance! (Original) Nossa biblioteca é simplesmente maravilhosa. Todos deveriam conhecer seu ambiente e sua importância!
(Translated by Google) Simply, the oldest in the State. Wonderful place! (Original) Simplesmente, a mais antiga do Estado. Local maravilhoso!
(Translated by Google) Fantastic collection at risk due to lack of robust funds for the conservation of literary material, building facilities and qualified personnel. I appeal to Rio Grande do Sul companies for ongoing donations and publicity of this Rio Grande do Sul treasure. (Original) Acervo fantástico correndo risco por carência de verbas robustas para conservação do material literário, das instalações prediais e do pessoal qualificado. Apelo ás empresas rio-grandinas por doações perenes e divulgação desse tesouro rio-grandense.
(Translated by Google) I didn't have the opportunity to see it internally, as the library wasn't open on Saturday. But the damage caused by the proximity of the river and high wear caused by mold and humidity throughout the facade can be seen. (Original) Não tive a oportunidade de conhecer internamente, pois a biblioteca não abriu no sábado. Mas percebe-se o dano causado pela proximidade do rio e altos desgastes provados por mofo e umidade por toda a fachada.
(Translated by Google) A great experience! We were guided by Mr Antônio, a volunteer at the library, who showed us part of the collection, all its floors and rooms. In addition to the history of the building. Essential visit! Help the library by joining or purchasing a book. (Original) Uma ótima experiência! Fomos guiados pelo sr Antônio, voluntário na biblioteca, que nos mostrou parte do acervo, todos os seus andares e salas. Além de claro da história do prédio. Visita indispensável! Ajude a biblioteca se associando ou comprando um livro.
(Translated by Google) The building is beautiful and is a good place to study, but the conservation and lack of sockets complicates things. (Original) O prédio é lindo e é um bom lugar para estudar, mas a conservação e a falta de tomadas complica
(Translated by Google) The Rio-Grandense Library, founded in 1846, is a private entity and does not receive ANY AID FROM ANY PUBLIC BODY, and the only regular resource it receives is the monthly rent of R$1,500.00 (one thousand and five hundred reais) for a room where the collection of the Monteiro Lobato Library is located, which belongs to the City of Rio Grande. The Rio-Grandense Library’s collection is fantastic! In addition to the rent already mentioned, the Library "SURVIVE") has a monthly fee of twenty reais for just over 250 members. It is unacceptable that the State, Union and Municipal Governments, and also the Legislative Assembly, do not contribute to the conservation of one of the most IMPORTANT LIBRARIES IN THE COUNTRY. The Rio-Grandense Library is the most important library in the State of Rio Grande do Sul, given its collection, which contains the most important and rare works relating to the formation of the State. I don't even know how the Library still manages to remain open to the public. A very few selfless collaborators donate part of their time, and part of their pockets, so that the Library continues to operate. In short: it is a shame that public bodies do not themselves take the initiative to "SAVE" (YES, SAVE!) ​​the Library, before some catastrophe turns the MAIN REPOSITORY OF THE HISTORY OF RIO GRANDE DO SUL into ashes. (Original) A Biblioteca Rio-Grandense, fundada em 1846, é uma entidade privada e não recebe NENHUM AUXÍLIO DE QUALQUER ÓRGÃO PÚBLICO, e o único recurso regular que recebe é o aluguel mensal de R$1.500,00 (mil e quinhentos reais) referente a uma sala onde está o acervo da Biblioteca Monteiro Lobato, que pertence à Prefeitura de Rio Grande. O acervo da Biblioteca Rio-Grandense é fantástico! Além do aluguel já referido, a Biblioteca "SOBREVIVE") da mensalidade de vinte reais dos pouco mais de 250 sócios. É inaceitável que os Governos do Estado, da União e do Município, e também da Assembléia Legislativa, não contribuam para a conservação de uma das mais IMPORTANTES BIBLIOTECAS DO PAÍS. A Biblioteca Rio-Grandense é a mais importante biblioteca do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul, dado o seu acervo, onde se encontram as obras mais importantes, e raras, referentes a formação do Estado. Não sei nem mesmo como a Biblioteca ainda consegue permanecer aberta ao público. Alguns pouquíssimos abnegados colaboradores doam parte de seu tempo, e parte de seu bolso, para que a Biblioteca ainda se mantenha operando. Em síntese: é uma vergonha que os órgão públicos não tomem eles mesmo a iniciativa de "SALVAR" (SIM, SALVAR!) a Biblioteca, antes que alguma catástrofe transforme em cinzas o PRINCIPAL REPOSITÓRIO DA HISTÓRIA DO RIO GRANDE DO SUL.

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful building. Superb exterior state of conservation. (Original) Très beau bâtiment. Etat de conservation extérieur superbe.
(Translated by Google) Historic building falling apart seems to be abandoned by the city hall but in fact it is where the headquarters of the Department of Education are located. Total neglect, even though it is a tourist spot, and, used by an educational organization, its windows are full of papers pasted with notices and notes, which makes the photos and the visual aspect even more dark. It would be worth knowing its interior, which should preserve (I have my doubts), a trunk, where slaves were tortured; It's a very shocking history lesson, thinking about what happened inside and the total disregard on the part of those in power to preserve (with the necessary care) our history. (Original) Prédio Histórico caindo aos pedaços parece abandonado pela prefeitura mas nas verdade é onde funciona a sede da Secretaria de Educação. Total desleixo, mesmo sendo um ponto turístico, e, usado por um órgão educacional, tem suas janelas cheias de papéis colados com avisos e notinhas o que deixa as fotos e o aspecto visual mais tenebroso ainda. Valeria a pena conhecer seu interior que deveria preservar (tenho minhas dúvidas), um tronco, onde eram torturados os escravos; é uma aula de história muito chocante, pensar no q aconteceu lá dentro e o total descaso por parte dos governantes em preservar (com os cuidados necessários) nossa história.

Good shopping mall can buy good stuffs and can also roam around
A big mall by Rio Grande standard with some brand shops like Havaianas, C&A, Burger King.
Pretty well organized and clean shopping center, with a good movie theater, awesome Vanguarda bookstore, and decent clothing stores. Unfortunately there are a lot of empty spots that never got filled up, and the food court is extremely underwhelming. Plenty of parking and in a good location.
Modern half empty shopping mall with upmarket chain clothes stores electronic stores, office stationery store food hall, play ground for kids and cinemas - all dubbed movies. Has a very large unique book store with a very wide range of books near main entrance - worth a visit. Note at time of writing - no supermarket.
Expensive shopping mall, but still a good experience. Taxied an uber there. Shopping here was smooth. Good brands. Clean mall with awesome gentry.
Not that bad. High prices for parking and low on stores.
Lacks options, but it's slowly improving. Beautiful inside.
It is just about ok. Lot's of empty shops.

(Translated by Google) The historic building, being one of the first baroque-style buildings in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, is in poor condition.
