 Two
words define the capital of Ceará
State: sun and party. Sun is absolute on 25 kilometers
of beaches. Party is the permanent state of spirit of
the people and the city. Forró, typical musical
style on the region of northeast, is on the people’s
blood, on the beaches, on the bars, on the restaurants,
on the hotels, in the dance clubs... on the streets
of Fortaleza.

that walkway near to the sea for walking or running.
Sunset
on Mucuripe beach

the port, the lighthouse and the raftings’ movement
going to the sea. Go back in the morning to see the raftsmen
offering, at the same place, the fishing obtained in a working
night.

on Fortaleza and that offers a beautiful panoramic view, there
are good restaurants,
