Tambaú

Tambaú is a municipality in São Paulo in southeastern Brazil, situated in a region of agricultural land and rolling terrain. The area is known for coffee, sugar cane, and fruit farming, along with a strong ceramic and clay-based manufacturing sector.

The settlement was founded in 1886 and became an official municipality in 1898. This development reflected the regional growth during the period of agricultural expansion in southeastern Brazil.

Father Donizetti, a local religious figure beatified in 2019, draws thousands of visitors each year to the town's sanctuaries. People come here to experience the spiritual places connected to his life and teachings.

The town is well connected by highways to regional centers, making it accessible by car. Spring and summer months are generally pleasant for visiting, when roads and outdoor areas are in their best condition.

The town earned the name Red City because of its long tradition in ceramic and clay production. Visitors can still see this craft tradition today in local workshops and manufacturing facilities throughout the area.
