I am from this village and while I was there a few months ago I could confirm the veracity of the news going around. Pretty much every single store accepts either on-chain or lightning transactions.
The interesting part is that the town's only hospital and the notary's office accept Bitcoin as well.
Prices of products and services are still based on the local currency(BRL) and converted to sats at the time a purchase takes place.
This is amazing. Looking forward for other towns and cities to embrace the same spirit.
