The “Bodódromo”, located in “Petrolina – Pernambuco”, is nothing more than a set of restaurants specializing in typical Petrolina foods, especially goat meat. There the streets are so good to drive, preferably at night because the weather is more pleasant and has live music in some especifics points. The place is very attractive! I had the opportunity to enjoy the handicrafts of the region while waiting for dinner. When I was there with my family and some friends, we took photos and I also took the opportunity to walk throughout the "Bodódromo". The services are excellent but these are a little expensive and sometimes the valets are a little bit abusive with the drivers. If you wish to know the Petrolina city, I recommend you to visit the "Bodódromo". It’ll be a wonderful experience! it is very worth knowing and enjoying about the culture of the region.
