The two Brazilian mainland cities closest to Europe are making the most of this geographic advantage to attract a growing number of international visitors, thanks to air links with capitals such as Madrid, Lisbon and Paris.
Less than eight hours from the Spanish capital, travellers can enjoy Fortaleza’s skyline of skyscrapers, which looks like a cross between Miami and Benidorm. The tall towers along the seafront give the city a modern urban profile that combines with the long coastal promenade (Beira Mar), in a tropical, holiday atmosphere that encourages you to make the most of the outdoors.
