Capital of the magnificent state of Alagoas, located on a strip of land between the ocean and the Mundau lagoon, Maceió is a charming seaside city. This city, despite its 800 000 inhabitants, has retained its provincial ambience and very few monuments of its colonial past. Undoubtedly, its major attraction is its coastline and its array of beaches fringed by coconut palms, its natural swimming pools formed in the reefs, its little fishing villages and jangada rafts always ready to face the waves...

You will love:

• The municipal market .
• The urban beaches of Jatiuca, Ponta Verde and Pajuçara .
• A stroll along the canals of the Mundau lagoon surrounded by fishing villages.
• The Jaragua district , restored in 1995, with all its colonial edifices, a reminder of a prosperous past connected with exports of sugar and later of tobacco, coconut and leather.
