As a Riverside city, it is home to many bars and clubs along the banks. The city is known as having the most beautiful sunset in the São Francisco valley, and for this reason it received homage from the writer, Guimarães Rosa, with the verse: and the lovely city of São Francisco, who the river looks on with so much love.
