Standing partly on the island of Sao Vicente and partly on the Brazilian mainland, the port city of Santos is famous the world over for coffee and football. The city's history can be traced back as far as the 16th century although it only came into prominence in the 19th century when its port became inextricably linked with the country's booming coffee industry. Its other claim to fame is its football team for which Edson Arantes do Nascimento played for. Born in 1940 and better known as Pelé, he became one of the world's greatest players who is revered around the globe to this day.
