End of july, or end of june?
[QUOTE=Yossarian 99]Sorry if this topic has been addressed, but anyone plan to visit Forteleza at the end of July?
I'd like some first hand reports from anyone who has attended their anual end-of-July celebration that is almost comparable to Carnaval. Anyone know what it is exactly?
Yos[/QUOTE]Hi Yossarian,
Maybe that's right, I really don't know for Fortaleza, but I know there are lots of places in the Nordeste where they have big Carnaval-like celebrations at the end of june.
A few years ago I attended the "festas juninhas" (june celebration) in Recife, and that was really interesting, lots of nice non-pros and really hot action. But you should speak some portuguese.
In Fortaleza, in july, they have the boat race named "Dragão do Mar", on the Mucuripe beach, second or third sunday of july, and then the last weekend of july the "fortal", kind of festa also, but I have no more info about that. Will check with a few friends, maybe someone knows.
Hope this helps,
Carpe diem,
CN.
