Things to Do in Fortaleza: Local Guide
Brazil's northeastern beach capital combines a long urban seafront, lively forró music scene, and easy access to the dramatic dune landscapes of Jericoacoara and Lençóis Maranhenses. The Mercado Central handicraft market, Dragão do Mar cultural centre, and fresh seafood at Praia do Futuro complete the experience.
