            The rich variety of traditional food is also part of the package of attractions for the hundreds of visitors who go to the fair every week
            The Luiz Gonzaga Municipal Centre of North Eastern Traditions, better known as the São Cristóvão Fair, is a good place to visit if you would like to sample a little of Rio de Janeiro’s cultural mix
            Wearing a cangaceiro (bandit) hat, Domigos Silva, from the state of Ceará, poses with the Rio 2016 Games logos
            Stalls, music, food and traditional decorations – each corner of the fair reveals a little of the culture and history of Brazil’s north-eastern states
            Dressed as Tiririca, a clown who became famous in Brazil in the 1990s, artist Valdir Dantas amuses visitors to the fair
            Severino has been working at the fair for 18 years, showcasing north-eastern culture by selling cordel (string) literature – booklets of folk poems hung from the counter by strings
            Little Felipe, aged eight, plays with Boi bumbá, a character in Brazilian folklore
            Rio-native Josete shows the fair to her French friends David, Sephane and Jerome, who are visiting the city
            The fair’s schedule of events features a variety of north-eastern music and dance shows
            Paulo Sergio, Eliane and Jailson stop to listen to a double-act playing on the fair’s central stage
            The Rio 2016 logos made the most of the weekend to check out the festivities. Rafael, Michele, Luciana and Murilo say the fair’s karaoke and traditional food are unmissable

            Test events: Riocentro hosts International Boccia Tournament 12 Photos
            The event features 22 athletes from Brazil, Great Britain, Portugal, Russia and Israel competing in team and individual competitions
            Brazil's Maciel Santos, who won gold at the London 2012 Paralympic Games, is one the stars of the test event
            The International Boccia Tournament, the sport's test event for Rio 2016 Paralympic Games, is taking place from 12-14 November at Riocentro Pavilion 4 in Barra
            Referees use rackets to signal scoring: one side blue, the other red
            Santos was the BC2 class champion in London, and at last year's world championships in China he won a bronze (in the individual event) and a silver (in the team event)
            Athletes use a range of balls - harder ones to knock out their opponents' balls, and softer ones to get closer to the jack
            Many of the athletes compete in electric wheelchairs
            Boccia competitors often customise their wheels
            Competitors with more severe impairments can use ramps to launch their balls
            Sometimes athletes use 'pointers' to launch their balls down the ramps
            The pointers can also be attached to the athlete's helmet
            Some athletes who do not have use of their hands use their heads to launch the balls

            It was a chance for some of the world's top riders to test themselves on the track that will host the Olympic races next year
            This volunteer found a way to avoid the sun's strong rays
            Crashes are common in mountain bike races, so having faith helps
            Italian Eva Lechner won the women's race
            A motorcycle rides out in front of the mountain bikers to check the track details and advise on any safety issues
            The Rio 2016 mountain bike test event in Deodoro Olympic Park was contested by 71 riders (44 men, 27 women) from more than 30 countries
            Still, crashes happen – it's part of life in mountain bike competition
            The cyclists said they enjoyed racing on the newly built course
            The course, designed by South African Nick Floros, is technically testing but enjoyable for the riders
            The rocky ‘Downtown’ section caused some of the riders to carry their bikes – not an uncommon sight in the sport
            The sun was intense in Deodoro, with temperatures reaching 35 degrees
            For the European riders, the heat presented a major challenge
            Switzerland’s Nino Schurter, the reigning world champion, celebrated victory in the men's competition
