Serra (Brazil)right Serra is the name of a municipality and its capital in the state of Esprito Santo, Brazil. Bordering the north of the state's capital, Vitria, the southern portion of this municipality is usually considered part of the Greater Vitria metropolitan area. The municipality as a whole has 330,000 people. Serra, the capital of the municipality, is to the north of the characteristic Mestre lvaro mountain which juts out of the coastal lowlands, and which is said to look like a small mountain range or "serra", in Portuguese, which is where the town and municipality got its name. Politically Serra has five districts (distritos): Serra-Capital, Carapina, Calogi, Nova Almeida and Queimado. Between those districts there are 118 neighbourhoods (bairros). Another important urban area is that of Jacaraipe, on the coast 20km north of Vitria. Jacaraipe is very well known for surfing championships, and is a weekend beach used by capital dwellers. Other smaller fishing villages such as Manguinhos are also close enough for day trips and are popular destinations for the locals. Neighbourhoods of Carapina - Andr Carloni
