WOW,THE WONDERFUL BEACHES OF NORTHEAST BRAZIL

by janaina - last update: Sep 11, 2002

A small city,about 80 km from Fortaleza,famous for its hotel " DAS FONTES ".
Around this small area,you can find also a beach called MORRO BRANCO (white mountain),where the sand have diferent collors and local artists use it to build views and beautiful shapes in a bottle.
It's located in the East coast of Ceara.

PRAIA DE IRACEMA

A view from Fortaleza,from IRACEMA BEACH.
Fortaleza means Fort,think its name comes from the fact that dutch imigrants came to northeast Brazil and tried to defend this coast building many forts(the famous one is the Schoonenboch Fort).

METROPOLITAN CATHEDRAL

Neogotic style,towers have 75m.

 This is called Bobbin Lace, and was most likely imported to Brazil from Europe. Bobbin Lace (as far as I know) originated in Brussels. There is a large group of Bobbin Lace artists on a small island near Venice, Italy called Burano.
