4 hoursAdmission Ticket FreeYou will visit one of the most traditional samba schools in the city of Rio de Janeiro. The Portela samba school was founded more than 100 years ago, in Oswaldo Cruz, in the north of Rio de Janeiro. Grêmio Recreativo Escola de Samba Portela is one of the most popular associations of the Rio de Janeiro Carnival and one of the oldest in the country, with a history spanning more than 100 years full of titles and memorable parades that justify the nickname “The Majesty of Samba". It is a school in a black neighborhood, Madureira, which once received black people freed from slavery from the Paraíba Valley. This influence marks the history of Portela and its representation in the world of samba.Quadra Do Salgueiro
