the 'carioca' nickname for metropolitan rio de janeiro inhabitants has its origin in a small white house that was built by the first european settlers on what today is flamengo beach - the colonizers dropped anchor and establish their settlement at the mouth of a nearby river, due to the fresh drinking water that was available here. |
