Fortaleza, update December 2021.
Fortaleza update. I'm sorry if the report is too long, but I had to kill some time this afternoon.
How much Fortaleza has changed or is going downhill depends on what, or rather to when, you compare. A short reflection based on the last 31 years I've been visiting Fortaleza.
* The 90's: Fortaleza was insanely good. All of the orla in Iracema was filled with restaurants and bars. Lots of bars with a mixture of regular girls and GPS. The best bar was Moby Dick (Captains Club, changed name often). Beira Mar had many excellent bars and barracas with GPS. All of the orla in Iracema and Beira Mar had GPS strolling up and down looking for customers. Pirata on Mondays was a no miss when picking up regular girls. There were even a hardcore strip club called Africa. Chico do Carangueijo (Praia do Futuro) on Thursday were like Sodom and Gomorra, when you met a girl there you could just bring her outside to some beach chairs and f*ck her (I remember once getting a BJ in a beach chair, when I looked around in the dark I saw 7 couples close by also having sex on the beach). There were also a bunch of giant forró clubs in the outskirts of Fortaleza that hold 5000 people, as a gringo you were the main attraction. There were a great interest among the regular girls to meet gringos. It was rare that you had to pay for sex, and sometimes there were threesomes with two regular girls.
*The 2000's: The scene changed. Less action along the orla in Iracema. Many of the bars got abandoned. The maresia (salty winds) destroyed the buildings in the Iracema orla. Instead the GP Action moved to the working girl crossing in Iracema. There were the big club Kangoroo (changed name to Capital and later to Forró & Mamboo), Cafe del Mar, Europa Bar, Bikini Bar, The Reggae Bar, Zipi and several other bars and clubs. There were a strong concentration of GPS in one small area. Many regular girls 18+ went to Iracema to earn some extra money. Often you could ask them if they had friends who would also like to earn some money. Beira Mar and the orla still had a share of the action. The forró clubs still worked. There were a giant disco called Mucuripe with four dancefloors with different music. Mucuripe had a large percentage of super hot regular girls (I did a f*ck count and counted that 85% of the girls were very f*ckable). Croco Beach daytime had lots of GPS. The regular girls were still hungry for gringos.
*The 2010's: Now it started to go downhill with Fortaleza. The prefeitura hated that Fortaleza was a destination for sex tourists. Slowly the clubs in the working girl crossing closed one by one. The last survivor was Forró & Mamboo (Cafe del Mar was on second place). Zipi was still rocking, a small club but with some good quality girls. Armazem had lots of GPS on Wednesday. Beira Mar had less action, but usually plenty of GP's in the restaurants and bars close to McDonalds. Croco Beach turned into a family beach. The regular girls were still hungry for gringos, but not as much as before.
*The last years: The action has been very limited. Zipi Bar, Forro & Mamboo, Armazem and a bunch of GPS close to McDonald. The last years Fortaleza mongering has just been a shadow of what it used to be.
*All right, how does it looks today? This is only my third day in Fortaleza but this what I've seen so far:
- Forro & Mamboo: It's closed. IMO no loss as it has been very slow the last decade. From my hotel room I have a good view inside the club and it's not emptied. Who knows if they might open again in the future?
- Zipi Bar: I passed by the day before yesterday. Very few people inside the club. Yesterday I had some beers outside Zipi Bar. When I left a bit after 11 PM no guests had entered the bar, and just a handful of GPS gathering on the outside.
- Armazem: Wednesdays used to be working girl night. I don't know if it still works. They used to have a large sign on the outside telling which bands that would play on the different evenings that week. That sign is gone.
- Pirata: Yesterday was Pirata evening. I passed by on the backside. Maximum of 50 people on the inside.
- Croco Beach: Much less people than normal and mostly families.
- Beira Mar: Here the prefeitura really has managed to destroy one of the most pleasant orlas in Brazil. Along the orla there used the be lots of restaurants and bars with people partying and some bars with GPS. Now they have removed most of the establishments. Instead they have constructed parking lots. All the big beautiful palm trees are gone. The few bars that are still left are much smaller than before. The working girl point in front of McDonalds is gone. What happened is that they have widen the beach a lot. All of the permanent barracas are now far away from the waterfront. They also have constructed, in the middle of the beach, very wide paths for bikers and runners. Side-note: For those who enjoys early morning runs. Try running from ex-ponte Metalica in Iracema to Mercado do Peixe at the end of Beira Mar. It's 10 km back and fourth. Just after 5 AM there about 1000 runners every morning. Great fun and lots of extremely fit girls.
- Favelada flirting. On weekends Iracema and Beira Mar gets invaded by the young Fortaleza favela crowd. Be careful as there are many thieves in that crowd. However there are tons of very sexy and flirting favela girls.
- Regular girls: As long as you have a bit of game there shouldn't be any problems to find regular girls. I have a small stable with regular girls I call every time I'll get to Fortaleza-.
* The privê scene:
- In centro there are many buildings with privées. Nothing has changed here. You'll find these buildings on Rua Sena Madureira 961 and Rua 24 de Maio 268/754 / 876. There is a reason these places earned nicknames like "Corredor do Inferno" (Hells corridor). It's quite fun to visit these places but don't have any expectations. However once in a decade there might be a gem. They charge 40 reais.
- Monsenhor Tabosa 111 used to be a really good privê spot. On the second floor there used to be something like 10 privées with some really good quality. Yesterday I went there and now there is only 2 privées left. You can't miss them as they are the only apartments with door mats on the outside, one even has a "Welcome" sign. Four girls in each privê. It's incredibly that the price continues the same, 100 reais /1 hour.
- Yesterday I chose Sofia. Morena clara, 28 years, medium sized firm tits and a nice round medium sized butt. Her face was not the cutest one, but what a sexmachine she was. Great BBBJ and f*cks extremely good.
- Today I went back and had problems to choose. A blond girl who runs the privê took of her robe and let me play with her nice boobies, but instead I chose her colleague Vanessa. Vanessa is a morena escura, 19 years old, super cute, petit and innocent looking. Small but extremely well shaped and firm tits, slim, supertight p*ssy and perfectly round little pony ass. I was worried that she wouldn't be very experienced, but she was a champion. Gave an outstandning BBBJ and f'cked like a godess. I'll probably have one Monsenhor Tabosa girl every day as long as I stay in Fortaleza.
*Summary: The monger scene has gone down even more in Fortaleza. Zipi was the bar that tried to still hold the flag standing, it's still there but quite worthless. There are still a few good privê options, but much less to choose from. If you enjoy picking up regular girls, have a go at Fortaleza. If you're only interested in P4 P there are better travel options. I haven't tried online dating or escorts as it's not my cup of tea, but that might be an good option.
P. S The coconut price has gone up to 3 reais.
