Bob-In our opinion, you heard right!!
In simplest terms, the Northeast of Brazil is cheaper and offers in my view better prospects for growth than other parts of Brazil
Brazil is divided into 6 regionals officially designated by the Federal Government of Brazil. In the Northeast region there are nine states of which Ceara is without doubt the Jewel in the Crown.
Fortaleza is a booming city of 2.5 M at about the center of the state, with 576 kilometers of pristine beaches.
Fortaleza lies about 200 miles South of the equator meaning the climate is ideal summer beach weather year round-it hardly varies through the year. Some call it endless summer. Never hot, but always about 87-88 Farenheit, and with ocean water temperatures of 80-82 degrees farenheit year round. Humidity seldom rises above 60% and there is always a breeze from the sea. There are about 30 days per year of rainfall meaning you have ideal weather on holiday 90% of the time, regardless what time of year you take your vacation. In short, the climate is ideal.
- The people are friendly, warm and welcoming.
- The food is out of this world-not to mention absurdly cheap.
- The quality of life is wonderful-no stress.
- The cost of living is not more than 20% of what you deal with in UK.
- Crime is disproportionately low.
Though the fifth largest city in Brazil Fortaleza lags the rest by far, ranking 23rd amongst all major Brazilian cities in the incidence of serious crime, according to the Ministry of Justice. You are probably more at risk where you are right now.
Add to this that the price of property is still cheaper than anyplace else in Brazil , also according to Brazilian government statistics.
We visited recently and found all of the things that we heard to be at least as good, if not better, than we hoped. A good start would to you get in touch with Steve Glazer at www.portofthesun.com.
