Domingos Martins

A German-immigrant mountain town of half-timbered houses, beer halls and craft coffee, nicknamed 'the Little Europe of Espírito Santo'.

Domingos Martins lies in the mountains about 45 km west of Vitória, at an altitude of about 540 m. It was settled in the 19th century by German immigrants from Pomerania. The town center has half-timbered houses, a Lutheran church and a cultural house. Along the streets are German restaurants, beer halls and stalls selling chocolate and strawberries. In the surrounding hills are craft breweries, coffee farms and guesthouses, and the town holds a Winter Festival and German-style celebrations in winter. It is about 50 minutes' drive along BR-262, and can be combined with Pedra Azul State Park for a mountain day trip.
