This tourist center in Natal was in earlier time a prison and exist now out of little handicraft shops in the four corners and the middle is a big yard
This is probably the busiest of such markets in Natal, as many travel agencies drop visitors here. Prices are reasonable (price tags are clearly visible in most shops), but bargaining is always welcome.
The shops offer all kind of handcraft: clothes, hammocks, puppies, paintings, etc. There is a restaurant and a cafeteria which offer some regional plates. Go to the windows of restaurants and some shops to have a nice view of the Ocean and the river Potengi.
Directions: from Ponta Negra, follow the Via Costeira all the way, then up the Ladeira do Sol; at the top of the hill, turn to the right then turn to the right again.
Forte dos Reis Magos, near the mouth of the river Potengi is the most important monument in the city ...
Ponte de todos or Ponte Newton Nevarro is the second longest and one of the most beautiful bridges ...
THIS IS A VISIT ROOM FROM A APARTMENT LOCATED IN NATAL, RIO GRANDE DO NORTE, IN NORTHEAST FROM BRAZIL...
Here's your soundtrack. Okay, maybe they're not exactly brazillian but their music is awesome and their live shows legendary.
Now, Brazil covers almost half of South America and its Amazon rainforest is the world's largest jungle... which is rapidly getting cut down. The country is basically one giant botanical garden with some bangin' cities on its edges.
Brazil was colonized in 1808 by the royal court of Portugal, which was fleeing Napolean's troops. They didn't stay long, and Brazil won its independence in 1822.
Its biggest city, Sao Paulo, is the financial hub of South America. Brazil is the "b" in BRIC -- Brazil, Russia, India and China. These four were labeled the world's fastest developing large economies in the year 2001.
Brazil is known for three things: amazingly beautiful women, carnival, and Pele -- King of Football, Athlete of the Century, football ambassador of the world and a declared national treasure.
Brazillians can tell foreigners a mile away, by the way their hips move. Samba is built into the soul of brazil and carnival is when it bursts out into twenty-four hour undying explosions of sound on every street.
This picture of mask diving at the Taipus reefs makes me shed hot and salty tears all over my calendar, which is set on "January" right now.
