Last secret

September 2nd, 2011

Every now and then, someone mentions the city of João Pessoa as the last undiscovered region in the Northeast. It’s partially true. The state of Paraíba remains less well-known than it should be. But those who do discover it fall in love – and never stop coming back.

 

As one of the oldest cities in Brazil, João Pessoa developed away from the ocean, on the shores of the Sanhauá River. The neighborhoods that line the beach are recent and follow intelligent urban planning that limits building height on the blocks close to the sea. There is an Atlantic Forest reserve within city limits, the Mata do Buraquinho, which raises the city’s amount of green space per capita.

 

It’s very easy to travel along the seaside – and to set off in search of new secrets, both to the North and to the South of the capital city.
