✈️Penedo (Alagoas)

A complete guide to plan your trip to Penedo. Write down the tips and enjoy a lot!

On the banks of the São Francisco River, Penedo is another city in Alagoas that attracts travelers who leave to discover this region of Spain. Located in the south of the state, right on the border with Sergipe, the main attraction there is the city itself, unlike other coastal municipalities that, because they are bathed by the sea, end up being highlighted by the beaches.

Penedo was the birthplace of Alagoas. Founded in the XNUMXth century, it is considered one of the most beautiful cities in the state, and has unique historical riches. In addition, it is a neighbor of Piaçabuçu, a city where there is the mouth of Velho Chico in the sea, and which also attracts visitors because of the river walks.
