São Bento, Agricultural municipality in Paraíba, Brazil.

São Bento is a municipality in northeastern Brazil located in Paraíba state, encompassing agricultural regions and residential communities. The landscape combines farmland and small neighborhoods that form the core of local daily life.

The settlement took shape in the late 1800s as the first residents arrived and established homes in the region. It received official municipality status in 1959 after growing into a stable community.

The municipality organizes the Arraiá Shaking Network festival each July, drawing 30,000 visitors for four nights of traditional music and regional celebrations.

The area is accessible mainly on foot or by local transport, with most places within reasonable distance of each other. The best time to visit is during the drier months when roads and pathways are easier to navigate.

The Rio Piranhas river flows through the area and supports agricultural activities across the region. Local people use the waterway for daily needs and to irrigate their crops.
