TIPS & NOTES

Farofeiro is a pejorative term for tourists with little money who take their food to the beach and often leave a lot of rubbish behind. The word comes from farofa a popular Brazilian dish made of toasted manioc flour. Farofeiro is an insulting word for people who you think are from a lower social class than you are.
