About Fortaleza

Fortaleza, the capital of Ceará on Brazil's north-east coast, is a warm beach city with a long waterfront and wind-swept dunes on both sides.

Fortaleza spreads along the Atlantic under a sun that shines most of the year. Praia de Iracema, the old port district turned nightlife quarter, leads to the Beira Mar promenade, where an evening craft fair sets up under the palms. Nearby are the Dragão do Mar arts centre, the neo-Gothic cathedral and the Mercado Central, a multi-storey market for lace, leather and cashew nuts.
