fortaleza

Fortaleza is celebrated in verse and prose as the "blonde bride of the sun", the sea shore running the length of the city. Iracema beach is a bohemian enclave, with dozens of all-night bars situated in buildings which still retain the architectural features of the turn of the XX century.

There is also the colony of fishermen at Mucuripe, with their jangadas, full of stalls where you can dance forro, one of the traditional rhythms of the North East Region.
