Arcoverde
Arcoverde, a municipality known as the Gateway to the Hinterland, is located 256 km from the state capital, Recife, in the mesoregion of the Pernambuco hinterland and in the microregion called the Hinterland of Moxotó. We traveled around São Geraldo, Centro, Cruzeiro, São Miguel, São Cristóvão, among other locations, to record hand-painted lettering in this region.
