Spotlight on...Fortaleza, Brazil

Brazil’s northeast coast: The best beachfront deals in the world right now

I have just returned from a two-week, 540-mile scouting trip along Brazil’s northeast coast. I had to see this place for myself, after hearing reports from my colleagues at International Living, Laura Sheridan and Eimear O’Driscoll, who traveled there in January to scout property deals east and west of the city of Fortaleza. You wouldn’t believe this place—hundreds of miles of virgin beach, interrupted only by quaint fishing villages and rivers that meet the ocean.
