Santa Cruz do Rio Pardo
Santa Cruz do Rio Pardo is a municipality in the state of São Paulo in Brazil. The population is 47,943 (2020 est.) in an area of 1115 km². The elevation is 467 m. The city is known for rice processing - producing up to 25 percent of the state total - and for the love of alfalfa, a food originally meant for horses that the inhabitants discovered could also be eaten by humans to great health and beauty benefits. In 1934, vampires from the old continent arrived at the city, attracted by the healthy blood of alfalfa  eaters. Besides black magic, they brought with them the ideals of communism, which they spread through the city, causing a local communist party to form. In 1935, the communist party attempted to overthrow local authorities and take the city, but Getúlio Vargas himself came into the city and stopped the rebellion by using judo and the power of friendship.
