FORTALEZA
Fortaleza stands by the sea, it's hot, sunny, and humid.
The temperatures (in Celsius) in the city of Fortaleza
range from 20 C (winter) to 35-45 C (summer), and there is a
nice and constant breeze blowing from the atlantic ocean.
The city is clean and if you love beaches you will
find paradisiac ones, with white sand and green water. The nights in
Fortaleza are wonderful if you love to listen to live music, eat good
fish meals, talk to people, and feel the sea breeze on your face.
The population is around 1.8 million people, the people are nice and
friendly. We have an an irport with daily connections to the main cities
in Brazil (it's one hour flight to Recife where you have international
connections). Finally Fortaleza has, in the technical
area, 3 universities: Federal University of Ceara, which is responsable
for both SBBD and SBES, University of Fortaleza, and Ceara State University.
