Brazil’s Colorful Fishing Village Trancoso Is Booming – Mansion Global 2022

Mansion Global · 30 October 2022

Mansion Global looks at how Trancoso, a former fishing village that only got electricity in the 1980s, has become one of Brazil’s most sought-after places for a second home.

Exclusive Realty Brasil founder Edmond van Wijngaarden is interviewed on how the boom started and who is buying today.
