Fortaleza Brazil

"This city of red-tiled roofs is the capital of the state of Ceará and one of northeast Brazils largest cities. It is one of Brazil’s chief commercial centers with a population of almost two million inhabitants.
Fortaleza has emerged from hard times provoked by the 1980’s drought and is making its name known outside of Brazil as a world-class fashion center.

Fortalezas original street layout was designed by a 19th-century French architect who dreamed of turning it into Brazils Paris of the North. Today, this busy metropolis’ commercial, administrative and religious areas are still clearly defined.

In recent years, there have also been great strides in developing tourism and many luxury hotels now dot the turquoise coastline.

Shoppers will revel in the Ceará, where theyll discover regional handicrafts, ranging from wicker furniture, macramé hammocks and straw baskets to ceramics, delicate handmade laces and coveted Brazilian embroideries.
