About Vila Madalena
Vila Madalena is an upper-middle-class neighbourhood of the Pinheiros district in the West Zone of São Paulo. It is known for its bustling nightlife and its history as a centre of the city's bohemian culture and art. It has been a bohemian stronghold since the early 1970s, when students with little money began living here because it is close to the University of São Paulo and the Pontifical Catholic University of São Paulo. In the 1990s its name was used as the title of a Rede Globo soap opera.
