Hi guys I am new here!
I am giong to Brasil for a holiday soon and I was wondering if anyone can give me some tips for the Recife area? Gonna stay for a week so maybe the most important things I need to see. I'll be there in June is there anything going on there like festivals etc? Cheers a lot!

The rhythm and dances known as tambor de crioula, or "the black woman's drum", which go all the way back to slavery times & feature women dancing to a tantalizing drum beat, are popular again in a Carnival celebration that's formative and spontaneous.
Marafolia, the São Luís micareta, is one of the country's most excellent and attracts thousands of tourists every October.

A must see while in the area is The Museum of Folk Art (also known as "Museu de Arte Popular"), which is also a center of folk culture, is located at Rua 28 de Julho. On this street you will find a number of houses ornamented with Portuguese azulejos.

There are many Festivals in Recife and São Luis during the year, specially in the summer.
