Espírito Santo
Espiritu Santo, directly translated as the "Holy Spirit" in English, is a Brazilian state situated in the southeast. The capital of Espírito Santo is Vitória, which is situated on an island. Because of its extensive coastline, this state is well known for its sand dunes, ports, and beaches (http://www.brazil.org.za/espirito-santo.html). Vila Velha (old town), coastal town in ES across from Vitória.
