Date: 06/23/2009 Author: Len GalvinLast year I went on a road trip along Brazil's northeast coast, driving from Lagoinha all the way down to Natal, along 540 miles of absolutely stunning coast.

They explained to me that as soon as someone from southern Brazil can afford to, he visits the beaches of Ceara (the state which Fortaleza is in).

São Luís Brazil: Large Colonial Homes by the Sea for $108,200
