Florianópolis, capital of the State of Santa Catarina, also known as "Magic Island". It is located on the coast of Santa Catarina, it has a humid subtropical climate, which is characterized by the alternation of summers and winters, and an abundant annual distribution of rainfall. This, together with its 42 beaches, contributed to it becoming the tourist capital of mercosur, as it has an intense tourist movement throughout the summer, mainly with Argentines, gauchos and paulistas.

Florianópolis is one of the three island capitals of Brazil. It has increasingly established itself as a tourist center, thanks to the beaches (Jurerê, Canasvieiras, Ingleses, Armação, and others) that circle the island and the beauty of Lagoa da Conceição, 13 km away from the center. In the surroundings of the lagoon, the bobbin lace, of Azorean tradition, is characteristic.
