Recife, Brazil
I remember that next to this wide tree there was an inscription saying that it was planted by a portuguese navigator (probably Pedro Álvares Cabral), however I doubt it...
Anyway the tree is a baobab, sacred tree in Senegal and was mentioned by Antoine de Saint Exupery in his book The little Prince.
Address: Praça da República
Boa Viagem district, Recife
Boa Viagem District is a waterfront area, has the city's finest beach and a numerous fine restaurants. Much of Recife's nightlife is also here.
Recife beach, Brazil
This long golden sand beach with the warm water is very inviting. No matter the time of the year it's always nice to have a swim... even if during winter I found the beach empty and didn't quite understood why!
