Fortaleza

[QUOTE=Henry R] Is that considered to be the eastern part of Fortaleza?[/QUOTE]
It is indeed. Usually the right sight of a map is the eastern part, so Iguatemi Shopping is east of Iracema.

[QUOTE=Sperto]West of Iracema? "Slightly" south of Iracema? You're lost, try reading the map again. Iguatemi is east of Iracema.

Taxi, TOP-bus or a bit more than one hours walk (about 7 kilometers).

Iguatemi is southeast of Iracema on your link. It was west of it on a different link from the forum that I used previously, which apparently was not a good link.

Not that it matters, but what link could that be?

Sorry guys, but I'm very bored from Henry's questions about Iguatemi shopping!

The Sperto's answer is perfect:

Eastern part of Fortaleza.

Google maps: Fortaleza, Iguatemi.

And other:

West of Iracema? "Slightly" south of Iracema? You're lost, try reading the map again. Iguatemi is east of Iracema.

Taxi, TOP-bus or a bit more than one hours walk (about 7 kilometers).

I can only add:

You can go by taxy: about 15 R$ from McDonald, at night, lenght 20 minutes with normal traffic; from Praia do futuro (Boa vida) same price,

Other place depends where you are. From centro is more expensive, from aldeota less, etc.

Is in the Eastern part, if yoy by your car, good luck and.

Going with GPS is easier. LOL

And I hope it's enough.

Just my 2 cents. Or 2 reais

Let's forget about it. Not all that important. And I don't want Forty to have a heart attack.

Hi,

I will be going Fortaleza in mid November.

Can anyone recommend GF hotels?

[QUOTE=Mario78]Hi,

Congratulations!
About the hotels: RTFF
And afterwards please write a report about your trip to Fortaleza, seems nobody cares about the GDPs any more, just shopping and chit-chat...

Agreed - but if you are short of time and cannot search this thread... apartments are best, if not I would try IBIS or the Casa Blanca.

[QUOTE=Mario78]Hi,

Enrico is cool, he's got decent places, and he picks you up from the airport. You need to email the address on the site to find out what's available. Send him an email with your requirements.

[QUOTE=Devileyes]Agreed - but if you are short of time and cannot search this thread... apartments are best, if not I would try IBIS or the Casa Blanca.

Though apartments lack any service. I'd always stay in Hotel Americas, just across the street of Casa Blanca. Check out both.

[QUOTE=InBrazilSoon]Good site for fotos of the Fortaleza club scene.

I've been using this site to spot familiar GDPs at Zipi, Mambo, and Cafe del Mar since I got back to the states. Seems like the site did a re-design and there no longer is a link to the photos from those three clubs. I wonder if it's an oversight in the re-launch or a purposeful removal of those clubs?

I`ve seen some references here about Clube do Whiskey(Whisky), but could anyone please give me an adress of the location, and also perhaps a report of the place?

[QUOTE=Fronyl]I`ve seen some references here about Clube do Whiskey(Whisky), but could anyone please give me an adress of the location, and also perhaps a report of the place?[/QUOTE]The address is:

Clube do Whisky. Rua Silva Paulet, 2671. Tel. 3247-7109

The road is a sidestreet of Rua Abolicao (Meireles), but it's a bit far (number 2671.); the club is high level, very expensive, the girls too (250-300R$ or more. And others for drinks and motel).

Happy hunting.

Just spent a week at the IBIS - $105 a night for me, $14BR additional a night for a friend. Hit the usual clubs, had one quote for $250BR, after I walked away from her laughing I found all others wanted about $100BR and possibly some extra for a taxi home.

Bikini and Europa are both closed, Zips, Cafe Del Mar and Mambo were rocking.
