Barro

Barro is a municipality in northeastern Brazil nestled in a region of rolling terrain at a moderate elevation. The landscape supports agriculture as a way of life for its residents.

The place originated in the 17th century from a colonial farm when military and religious settlers first came into contact with the Kariri indigenous people. This early meeting of cultures shaped its formation.

The place hosts celebrations each June honoring Santo Antonio, its patron saint, when locals gather for music and traditional food. These festivities bring the community together and reflect what matters most to people here.

A local hospital provides medical care for residents and visitors who may need attention during their stay. Basic services are available throughout the settlement.

A large reservoir in the valley system nearby holds water for farmers to use throughout dry seasons. This infrastructure reveals how residents adapted to their climate.
