Vegetation and climate change from place to place. Is that even being a single state, Paraíba is rich in natural and cultural diversity.
There are also several points where you can see a beautiful sunset: the traditional Praia do Jacaré (where every day a saxophonist plays the “Bolero de Ravel” for years) and the Hotel Globo, which is in the Center Historic. And speaking of the Historic Center, you need to know and take pictures of the colorful houses, squares and very old churches that are there.
Do you like going to the movies? How about visiting a place where films like “O Auto da Compadecida” were filmed with the help of locals? So it is. Cabaceiras, another city in Paraíba, is known as the “Roliúde Nordestina”. Do you know why? I don't know… “I just know it was like that”!
That's it, guys! We could spend hours and hours talking about a lot of things that have and happen here in Paraíba. But we hope you and your family will come and check it up close. And, to never forget your visit, don't forget to take souvenirs of our handicrafts and a bag of coconuts, nuts and brown sugars as a gift to friends!
