Tips by GUSTAVO VIVACQUA |
|
1. Don't miss eating a crab. It's good and cheap. 2. There is no cell phone signal and the phone booths of the city always have long lines. Get ready to wait a lot to make a simple call. 3. The boat trip by Rio Pardo is great. Don't miss it! 4. A horse ride by the wild trails of the city is also a good option. 5. Go watch the sunset at Ponte Lloyd (Lloyd's Bridge). 6. Bring your surfboard. 7. "the babes are at the beach, between Tieta and Alegria de Viver huts. Watching sunset in Ponte do Loyd is extraordinary. By night, go to the historical center, where, in September, happens Festival Nacional do Caranguejo (Crab's National Festival), that party has several shows, a lot of chicks and some sport events. To listen to some cool music and to have nice talks the Mangue Beach Bar is the right place, it is in the way to the beach. There are 2 great point for surfing: one to the north (Forte), with waves of good formation and extensive, other to the south (Atalaia) is a fast and hollow wave (tube) Several beatiful views are seen in a bike ride around the city and the beaches . The local surfers are nice and receptive." tip from Lian Amorim 8. "What's up, man?I would like to tell you some tips of my city to be altered there in the page. We already have cell phone signal, and the Crab Festival will be from 06 to September 09, the best points are still the same ones." tip from Lian Amorim 9. "Porto Hotel is a well localized place to stay, at the historical center, the owners are super homelike (Mr. Zé and Solange), the food is good. In Cannes, people use the mototáxi service a lot, only R$1,00 to anywhere you want to go, it surely helps a lot." tip from Ana Maria Freitas - former trainee of Transamérica Comandatuba Hotel, friend of all the local residents. |
