João Pessoa – the capital and business heart of the state Paraíba, located on the northern-eastern shore. It has everything you can except – a tiny old town, fantastic beaches and even its own island.
João Pessoa is the third oldest capital of state in Brazil, it is also considered to be the most green city in the country thanks to a park of 515 hectares located in the very centre - Jardim Botânico Benjamim Maranhão. The city was also qualified as one of the best and most friendly place to spend retirement.
The city is calm and clean, spend a day resting on one of its beaches. Most of them are characterized with white sand and heavenly blue water. Which beach to choose? Among many places it is worth to mention Tambaú, situated in a district of the same name, Cabo Branco, which takes its name from a street by which it is located or the beach Bessa, stretching along Av. Arthur Monteiro de Paiva and Av. Gov. Argemiro de Figueiredo.
