Fortaleza is famous for its urban beaches, Praia de Iracema and Praia Meireles, where you can enjoy swimming or simply lazing in the beachfront bars and people watching.

So, while Fortaleza is a thriving tourist hub, the majority of the population speaks Portuguese and may have a rudimentary understanding of the English language.

The Mega-Sena is the largest lottery in Brazil, organised by the Caixa Econmica Federal bank since March 1996.
