Cerrado does mean 'closed' in portuguese (at least according to my portuguese-speaking friends). Cerrado does mean 'closed' in Spanish, but apparently has no meaning in Portuguese. Matthias5 16:00, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

cerrado...1 cuja passagem ou abertura foi obstruída; fechado [closed]...

Houaiss Dictionary. Are you sure your friends speak Portuguese? Macgreco 20:10, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Aurélio dictionary: cerrado... 1. Fechado... Aurélio gives 10 other meanings for "cerrado", and Houaiss has 15. You are right about Spanish, though. Macgreco 20:20, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
