Frei Caneca Street (Portuguese: Rua Frei Caneca, local Brazilian Portuguese pronunciation: [ˌʁu.ɐ ˈfɾeɪ kɐˈnɛkɐ][1]) is an important LGBT street in the city of São Paulo, Brazil, that starts at the Paulista Avenue and ends at Augusta Street.[2] On the street is located the famous gay nightclub A Loca, and the gay-friendly Shopping Frei Caneca.
On the street of Frei Caneca is located the Gay Tourist Information Centre of the city of São Paulo. The São Paulo Turismo (SPTuris) listed 91 gay-friendly places, not to mention the indications of parks and museums. This includes 8 shopping centers, 25 cafes and bars, 23 nightclubs, 20 restaurants, and 8 saunas.[3]
The idea, according to the SPTuris, is to publicize the city's options for the gay community, coming to São Paulo with more intensity during the São Paulo Gay Pride Parade, but who come back on other occasions.
With trained staff, the Gay CIT will work in Casarão Brasil, a GLS association, and will be administered by the Associação Brasileira de Turismo para Gays, Lésbicas e Simpatizantes (Abrat-GLS). The staff is bilingual, speaking Portuguese and English.[4]
