By the law number 20 of September 3rd, 1971, the flag of São José dos Pinhais was created with the following characteristics: composed of a quadrilateral blue, at the centre the municipal coat of arms containing a pine tree surrounded by a gear in a sky blue on a light green filed. At the right side of the coat there is a mate herb branch and at left a wheat field. At the top of the coat there is a white banner reading: MUNICÍPIO DE and at the bottom, another white banner reading - S. JOSÉ DOS PINHAIS. 08 DE JANEIRO and DE 1853 are divided in two banners at the very bottom, with a white branch between them.

My Commentary: São José dos Pinhais is a Curitiba in a small proportion. The way the city is organised is very similar, it's an urban city and there are some historical places to visit, but one end up going to Curitiba for tourism considering the geographical approximation of these two cities.

Melody: Rodolfo Krüeger
As tuas glórias, unidos, cantemos
nesta terra festiva e gentil
e teus grandes heróis celebremos
nós que somos de estirpe viril!
Estribilho
Venerável relicário,
Salve, salve, dileto rincão
pois que és um sublime sacrário,
de fiel nobreza e tradição!
Este amor proclamemos bem alto,
com sincero, expressivo calor,
oh! Princesa feliz do Planalto,
solo augusto de graça e valor.
Que cidade mais doce e risonha,
onde achar, bem melhor do que tu?
se és a deusa formosa que sonha,
junto às margens do manso Iguaçu!
Do futuro seguindo áureos trilhos,
tu, mais forte e mais bela serás
pelo honesto labor de teus filhos,
sempre afeitos à ordem e à paz!
Por tua causa daremos a vida,
e olvidar te, por certo, jamais.
Salve, terra formosa e querida.
São José, São José dos Pinhais!

Trip to São José dos Pinhais 2012
My Commentary: This was my first time in São José dos Pinhais, I went there to visit a friend and one of the things that impressed me was the price of a barbecue meal, which is a lot cheaper than in São Paulo. It's a nice place to live, urban but at the same time not crazily crowded.
Stradiotto Hotel I picked a very simple room to stay those days
