Serra, Metropolitan municipality in Espírito Santo, Brazil
Serra is a municipality north of the state capital in Espírito Santo, sprawling across several districts and settlements. Urban areas alternate with open green space, and roads connect coastal settlements with rural stretches.
Portuguese settlers established early outposts along the coast in the late 1500s, laying the groundwork for what became this municipality. It gained full administrative status in the early 1900s.
The name refers to the mountain ranges that shape the region and feature regularly in how local people talk about their surroundings. Local restaurants serve traditional Atlantic coast dishes built around cassava root and fresh seafood.
Visitors can arrive by bus during daytime hours, with multiple routes serving central areas throughout the day. Roads link neighboring cities and reach the coast directly, offering several different routes.
Mestre Álvaro mountain rises over 300 feet (91 meters) and remains visible from several neighborhoods, serving as a natural landmark for orientation. Local residents use its distinctive peak as a navigation reference throughout the day.
