About João Pessoa City, the Beauty from Brazil´s northeast region

Joao Pessoa (population 600,000) is capital of the small state of Paraiba and boasts a number of interesting churches and cloisters. However it is best known for the futuristic-looking hotel located seven kilometers to the east, in Tambau. The Hotel Tropical Tambau, a round structure with a tower set in the middle, bears a striking resemblance to a rocket launching pad and the hotel is designed so that half of the structure sits over the water.
It was founded in 1585, making it the third-oldest city in Brazil. Beyond Cabo Branco lies Ponta do Seixas, the easternmost point in the Americas. Among other things to do is a day trip to Cabedelo, or to the convent church of Sao Francisco, which was constructed between 1701 and 1734. Joao Pessoa offers both cultural and more earthy pleasures. Sun, beach and history. It has a wide selection of accommodations for the traveler to insure a enjoyable stay for any budget.
