Fortaleza Holidays

Fortaleza holidays should not be overlooked. The gateway to Brazil’s northeastern coast, the capital of Ceara has more than a few strings to its bow including the year-round sunny weather and 16 miles of urban beaches. Aside from gleaming modern architecture, the city boasts a multi-hued historic centre which is highly worth a stroll and a waterfront perfect for promenading. Wander down to Mucuripe beach where, if you wake early enough, you can watch the jangandas (traditional wooden boats) bob in after the morning catch. In the evening, head to Iracema to watch a fiery sunset over the Atlantic Ocean while sipping cocktails, dining on fresh seafood and dancing to forro beats...does it get any better?
