Londrina

Founded in 1934 with a garden-city layout planned by urbanist Jorge Macedo Vieira, Londrina is a large city in northern Paraná, Brazil, whose name — meaning "Little London" — traces back to the British cotton company that first invested in the area. Once known as the "Coffee Capital" for its role in the regional coffee trade, the city has a walkable centre with a strong café and restaurant scene and a concentration of historic churches, and sits along a corridor connecting southern and southeastern Brazil.
