Garanhuns is a city in the Brazilian state of Pernambuco. Located in the Borborema Plateau, the town is known as the "Suíça Pernambucana" (Pernambucan Switzerland) due to its pleasant weather during summer and low temperatures during winter, something rather unusual for the region. It is also known as "Cidade das Flores" ("City of Flowers") or "Cidade da Garoa" ("City of Drizzle"). Garanhuns is most famous for the Festival de Inverno, or The Winter Festival, which it holds every year in July. During the winter, temperatures in Garanhuns can drop to 7 degrees Celsius (44 degrees Fahrenheit). This is quite cold for a city that is only a few degrees south of the equator. ==Geography== * Region - Agreste of Pernambuco * Boundaries - Capoeiras and Jucati (N); Lagoa do Ouro and Correntes (S); São João and Palmeirina (E); Caetés, Saloa, Paranatama, Brejão and Terezinha (W) * Area - 472.5 km2 * Elevation - 842 m * Hidrography - Mundaú River * Vegetation - Evergreen forest * Climate - Mesothermal * Annual average temperature - 20.4 °C * Main road - BR 101, PE 126 and PE 177 * Distance to Recife - 223 km 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Garanhuns」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
