Alvorada is a municipality in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, in the south of Brazil, next to Porto Alegre, the state capital. Its name is Portuguese for dawn, and it is also glossed as the awakening or the sunrise. The city carries the nickname The Capital of Solidarity. Alvorada works mainly as a bedroom community, with most of its workers commuting to neighbouring cities such as Porto Alegre. The 2022 census counted 187,315 residents, a little fewer than the 195,673 counted in 2010. Its Wikipedia article also records heavy crime and squatting, with the Umbu subdivision named as the largest favela.
