    Local transport to the island.
    by cachaseiro
    A little bit south of Recife there is a small island called Ilha do amor.
    It's an uninhabited island with a coconut plantation and a couple of empty beaches.
    It's a nice place to go if you like to have a beach for yourself.
    You are unlikely to meet other people than a couple of guys looking after the coconut plantation.
    The only transport to the island is by fishing boat.
    Get a local fisherman to take you over there and arrange a time to be picked up again.

    A couple of hours south of Recife you have the beach of Gaibu.
    It's a small place where you mostly have brazilians on weekend trips.
    The beach has a good surf and there is often concerts on the beach during the weekends.
    There are also a couple of pousadas where you can stay overnight for little money.

    My professional world is... glass. And, being in Brennand's property, I noticed a typical glass factory, that, obviously, I would like to visit, but it's closed to public, and I had no time to prepare a professional request for the visit. But I was sorry, because glass is a much more spectacular product than ceramics. And they know it, for sure!

    Porto de galinhas is another beach near Recife that is worth visiting.
    It's a little more upscale than Gaibu and the crowd tend to be a little older.
    It's a good place to see famous brazilians as many of them have a house here.

    The Francisco Brennand Atelier is excellent. This is a very big place with sculptures, temples...like a small city. This is amazing. Ask a taxi driver to get there. Itīs 20 min from downtown.
